Upwardly Global is a 501c3 non-profit organization, based in San Francisco with an additional office in New York and Chicago that helps immigrant, refugee and asylee professionals rebuild their careers in the United States. == Mission == The number of college-educated immigrants to the US grew from to 5,821,690 to 7,800,043 (a growth rate of 34%) between 2000 and 2005 . At the same time, the foreign born population of the United States increased from 30,760,065 to 35,689,842 (a growth rate of 16%). However, even with more education than the majority of immigrants and extensive job experience, these immigrants still have tremendous difficulty finding jobs in their career fields. Over half of all legal immigrants to the US work in lower-skilled jobs than their education or experience has prepared them for. Upwardly Global helps immigrant, refugee, and asylee professionals find jobs in their career fields. To date, over 800 immigrants from around 103 countries have secured jobs in their respective career fields with the help of this organization. It operates on the belief that the hiring of immigrant professionals is beneficial not only to the individuals themselves but to the American economy, emulating Stephen Moore's belief that: To qualify for Upwardly Global's free services, immigrants must have: *Been born in a least developed country or newly industrialized country as according to UN definitions (i.e. non-Western countries) *A university-level education *Permanent, legal U.S. work authorization (not employer sponsored) *Proficient (not perfect) English skills *At least two years' job experience in their career field They cannot be or have been: *Already working in their career field here in the US *In the US for over five years 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Upwardly Global」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
