Tent Partnership for Refugees announced the new initiative with commitments from 16 companies to mentor at least 50 Afghans, including at Intuit in San Diego
Afghans who are struggling to find work in line with the careers they had before they fled their country can now sign up to get mentored by U.S. military veterans working in their field.
He noted that U.S. military troops and the Afghans who helped them in Afghanistan established close bonds over the past two decades. He hopes the new program will use those bonds to help Afghans reach their career and life goals in their new home. “Many times they took entry level jobs soon after arriving in the United States to support themselves and their families and are looking to advance in careers and find roles that are better suited to their professional backgrounds,” Schwartz said. “Mentorship is a powerful complement in the hiring space.”such as cultural competency training for businesses hoping to help their refugee workers integrate smoothly.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough called the Afghans who were evacuated when the U.S. military withdrew from their country a massive human resource for the United States.
