🌎💫 Celebrating Seattle’s Inclusive Workforce! The Office of Immigrant & Refugee Affairs (OIRA) brought together partners to spotlight Seattle’s progress toward building a workforce that embraces and uplifts immigrants, refugees, and migrants. Together, we celebrated digital equity achievements through OIRA’s collaboration with Seattle Information Technology, the impactful Ready to Work (RTW) program, and insights from the new Regional Partnerships for Immigrant Integration and Workforce Development in the City of Seattle and King County report. Seattle’s immigrant and refugee communities are central to our region’s cultural and economic growth, contributing richly to innovation and vibrancy. Yet, they continue to face unique barriers to workforce participation, from language and credentialing to legal complexities. The OIRA's recent report is dedicated to identifying and addressing these challenges head-on with strategies for deeper inclusion and equitable opportunity. The Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County is excited to support these recommendations and strengthen our shared efforts to improve workforce conditions and economic stability for all our residents—immigrant and native-born alike. ✅🔗 Read the full report at https://lnkd.in/gJs3AU6k #InclusiveWorkforce #WorkforceEquity #WorkforceDevelopment #Seattle
