Upwardly Global unleashes the potential of immigrants to secure skill-aligned careers by supporting them and the organizations that serve them with industry-specific coaching and digital training, engages employers in inclusive hiring practices and opening opportunities, and advances policies and narratives that create shared prosperity, foster thriving communities, and promote economic growth.
Today in the U.S., more than two million work-authorized immigrants, refugees, and asylees with professional experience and international degrees are unemployed or underemployed, working survival-wage jobs that leave them and their families struggling to make ends meet.
For over 20 years, Upwardly Global has advanced workforce inclusion for work-authorized immigrant, refugee, and asylee professionals by helping them secure skill-aligned jobs to ensure a diverse workforce, build resilient communities, and contribute to a robust U.S. economy.
To date, Upwardly Global has helped 10,000 immigrants, refugees, and asylees obtain thriving-wage jobs that contribute $74 million annually to the U.S. economy. Our goal is to serve 25,000 job seekers in 2025.
