To Whom It May Concern:
Because of the recent budgetary priorities of the current administration as well as lack of state resources, RIC-AAU is in danger of losing our Employment Services program, which serves approximately 500 refugees each year. As employers, you know that our clients are dedicated, loyal, and hard-working employees that are valuable to the employers and companies we work with.
Will you add your signature along with ours, asking decision makers at the state level to consider continuing this vital program that supports both refugees and the companies we work with? Our services have gone beyond expectation to ensure refugees receive language specific job coaching, new hire orientations, as needed trouble-shooting, and continuous support for employers whenever services are required. You support is much appreciated.
Please remember to add your company name in the comments.
Thank you for your support.
I worked as an employee case manager at AAU for 3 years and I saw first hand the trememdous good the employee services program does both for refugees and the broader utah economy. Many jobs would go unfilled, a waste of producrivity and economic capital if it wern't for this program. During the recession, this program helped refugees get off welfare and contribute to the tax base. Please save this program
