Our Story

Global Talent is a new workforce development initiative to enable skilled refugees and other immigrants to successfully integrate into professional roles in their local community and for local communities to retain talented professionals as key contributors to our community and economy.

Every year, hundreds of refugees and other immigrants leave everything behind in their countries, arriving in Idaho with advanced degrees, English language skills and successful but interrupted careers - as engineers, doctors, nurses, teachers, accountants and scientists. They end up significantly underemployed in low-wage jobs, their skills and talents left untapped.

Global Talent aims to change that, helping skilled immigrants find roles related to their former careers, experience, and education. Global Talent provides job seekers with career counseling, training, cultural orientation, and opportunities for mentoring, networking and internships that provide direct connections with employers. This also benefits employers by providing a resource for high-skilled workers who bring their often unparalleled commitment, global perspective and multiple languages to the workplace.

Global Talent is a missing link for underserved refugee and immigrant communities, and for local economic growth. By enabling high-skilled immigrants to reclaim careers, Global Talent restores hope and dignity to people whose lives and careers have been interrupted, increases wages and family income, and boosts tax revenues for Idaho communities. Global Talent is positioned to create a more diverse, vibrant and talented workforce.
