STRIVE New Haven, Inc.

The New Americans Employment Project will offer a modified STRIVE employability skills training workshop to 20 newly arrived Iraqi refugees with limited English language proficiency. The workshop will be conducted in English with translation provided by Arabic-speaking interpreters. As a result of participating in the workshop, IRIS and STRIVE expect that workshop graduates, a highly vulnerable population, will have a higher employment success rate, enabling them to achieve greater financial success.
