I hope that you are able to find a way to mass market this. We need it here in Texas. Emily >>> laura@upwardlyglobal.org 08/10/05 2:02 PM >>> Hello everyone, I am a Stanford undergraduate majoring in Public Policy, and I am currently interning for an organization that may be able to help some of your advanced immigrant ESL students. Upwardly Global (http://www.upwardlyglobal.org) is a SF based non-profit that helps immigrant professionals rebuild their careers here in the United States. Our mission is to increase economic opportunities for unemployed and underemployed refugees, asylees, and immigrants and to decrease the discrimination against immigrants in the labor market. I have been working on contacting as many organizations, community centers, community colleges, etc. as possible and would like to reach the Adult ESL programs that serve immigrants who we can enroll in our jobseeker program. I have already been in touch with several adult schools in the South Bay, Oakland, and Berkeley who have agreed to keep some of our outreach materials on hand and to refer qualified jobseekers. If you are part of a school or organization and would be interested in hearing more about our program, please let me know. If anyone has any ideas on how else I can reach Adult ESL and other relevant training programs on a mass level, that would also be great. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time, Laura Villanueva Summer Intern Upwardly Global
