Fill your open positions with Afghan Allies!
Do you desperately need to fill open positions within your business?
Does your company desire to do something to support Afghan refugees, but not sure how?
We’d love to guide you through a process where your company, no matter your size or location, can add work authorized, dependable Afghan refugees to your team and become fully staffed.
On October, 25th, the White House announced a new initiative to allow communities across the US to engage in the resettlement of approximately 50,000 Afghans currently living on military bases around the country.
These individuals are referred to as “Afghan Allies” because they have supported the US military in some capacity over the past 2 decades in Afghanistan before being targeted by the Taliban for their affiliation with America. These Afghan Allies are strictly vetted by the US Dept of State and are authorized to work in the US.
The new community resettlement program, the Sponsor Circle initiative, will allow companies to play a vital role in employing Afghan Allies in their communities as well as providing or assisting with other needed services in partnership with local organizations.
Can your company partner with local organizations to provide employment for Afghans resettling in your community?
What is Required?
-
Willingness to employ Afghan Allies in your open roles
