RefugeeWorks National Recertification Conference

The List Project attended and presented at the RefugeeWorks National Conference on Refugee Professional Recertification in Lansing, Michigan last week. The National Conference focused on the issues related to professional retraining, job seeking and recertification for refugees in the U.S. Refugee resettlement personnel, educators, refugees, employment specialists and others worked together to come up with solutions to the challenges of recertification. The List Project’s presentations focused not only on the issues that our Iraqi allies are facing here in the U.S., but also on the importance of partnerships for small organizations and on the benefits of new technology. Netroots was showcased throughout the two-day conference to demonstrate the power of online social networking. The conclusions and presentations of participating organizations will be published shortly on the RefugeeWorks website.
