When newly-arrived clients walk into the Institute searching for their first job in the United States they need an entry-level job that does not require a high level of English or previous experience. The Hospitality Careers Pathway serves New Americans facing barriers to employment. Our Housekeeping Training helps New Americans to overcome these barriers and secure much-needed employment. The Pathway also includes Dietary Aide and Supervisor Training, to help build a career in which they can advance to earn a sustainable living.
