Join this webinar on Tuesday, March 19 at 10:00 a.m. for a panel discussion examining the workforce development of immigrants as a primary driver of economic mobility, social integration, and civic incorporation in American society. Speakers will address the barriers and challenges immigrant workers face as they seek to access and maintain employment opportunities that leverage their talents and skills and provide livable wages. This webinar will explore the service infrastructure established by the nonprofit sector, usually separate from traditional American educational systems. Speakers will showcase models of organizations that seek to address under-skilling, upskilling, and advancement. They represent a new paradigm of immigrant workforce development, which includes not only work-based trainings, but coaching, mentoring, and direct services that address basic needs as well as employer engagement to ensure equitable hiring practices, inclusive work environments, and the structuring of workforce development programs that respond to employers’ needs. Join us as we explore new approaches to advancing systemic change in workforce development and immigrant economic integration.
There are many government programs and services that contribute to improving public health and health outcomes for individuals, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and services for people with developmental disabilities. While these programs provide essential benefits, administrative burdens can make it hard for people to assess eligibility, navigate the application process, and utilize services. In December 2022, the federal Office of Management and Budget issued guidance offering strategies to reduce administrative burden, and efforts have been underway in states and organizations to implement practices to address these challenges.
Join us during National Public Health Week on Tuesday, April 2nd, for this webinar hosted in collaboration with the University at Albany’s School of Public Health. This session will delve into various strategies to mitigate these burdens with a focus on utilizing best practices in health communication.
