Yusuf and Luis: Immigrant job seekers served by Upwardly Global.

Riverside Language Program and Upwardly Global (UpGlo) a non-profit organization that works to eliminate employment barriers for skilled immigrants and refugees have formalized a new partnership to help streamline referrals and provide better support for our students and alumni. Riverside refers eligible students to UpGlo, while UpGlo recommends students to the Riverside program to improve their English language skills, who return to their job placement when their skills have progressed. “We are still in the beginning stages, but things have been going smoothly, and we are looking forward to growing this partnership with UpGlo’s amazing team,” says Gabriela MacPherson, Riverside’s Outcomes Coordinator.
