It was an honor to have Special Representative Dilawar Syed here in Boise. Originally from Pakistan, Mr. Syed was able to relate to our job seekers who are new to America, validate their skills and contributions, and provide words of inspiration. Thank you for this visit!

“When I arrived here, I was afraid, like many others, that I would lose both my country and all the progress I previously made in building my future. Having support from an institution that understands these fears and helps overcome them is invaluable.” wenr.wes.org/2022/10/the-ga…

Our job seekers bring vital skills to Idaho - such as Innocent, who practiced nursing in Rwanda and is now working as a CNA at Saint Alphonsus while he works toward his nursing credentials here in Idaho. We're thankful to be part of his journey with partners like College of Western Idaho.

One of our job seekers organized this rally out of love and concern for his wife, daughter and all women back home in Afghanistan. We are proud to stand with him as we work toward a better future.

The Multicultural Nursing Assistant program at College of Western Idaho has benefitted our job seekers, and we're thankful to see this continued support from Bank of America! cwi.edu/news/news-room…

Afghan Pilots Resettling in Idaho Dream of Flying Again mosaics.castos.com/episodes/afgha… #mosaics #podcast #resettlement #refugees Idaho Office for Refugees Global Talent Idaho

Global Talent is proud to be working alongside Afghan pilots to get them back in the sky and help ease the pilot shortage in the U.S. Thank you for considering helping these professionals reclaim their careers. idahorefugees.org/pilots.html

Our first cohort of Afghan pilots is getting closer to becoming certified to fly commercially in the U.S.! It's a monthslong process that costs tens of thousands of dollars. We invite you to invest in making this dream a reality for our allies. mailchi.mp/764fd5e9e15d/j…

This column says it so well! We hope you will consider investing in these pilots who have served for many years and dream of continuing to fly in the U.S. mtexpress.com/opinion/guest_…
