The goals of Employment Services are to provide vocational training and then place refugees into unsubsidized employment, at the highest skill-level and wage rate possible, and within the shortest time frame possible. Aggressive retention services will be provided to keep the refugees employed. All services are provided within the context of supporting long-term family self-sufficiency.
