Businesses for Refugees
Businesses across the United States know that refugees are essential to our economy and our communities.
U.S. businesses are uniquely positioned to offer refugees the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
It is the right thing to do, and it strengthens our economy, our workplaces, and our communities. Businesses are integral to this effort. Refugees embody characteristics that U.S. businesses deeply value—resilience, dependability, and determination—and they bring with them valuable skills.
Refugees are eager to enter the labor force and begin rebuilding their lives.
