Creating Change Together
In recent years, immigrant women have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, resulting in significant job losses and persisting obstacles to workforce entry and advancement. Meanwhile, the private sector, especially in high-growth industries, has been actively seeking skilled workers to fill various positions while striving to cultivate a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
Here at New Women New Yorkers, we’ve risen to meet these challenges head-on. Our workforce development programs are meticulously designed to break down the barriers that immigrant women face in their employment journeys.
We utilize a three-pronged strategy to empower our participants:
- Language Proficiency: We emphasize English language practice in the context of professional goals.
- Skill Acquisition: We provide opportunities to acquire job skills that are prerequisites to achieving professional aspirations.
- Cultural Understanding: We guide immigrant women in navigating US workplace culture and understanding the role of their unique cultural perspectives.
Our impact reaches into high-growth sectors that hold promising career paths, with a particular focus on the clean energy industry. Through our Clean Energy Program, we’re preparing immigrant women to enter this vital, expanding field. By partnering with industry experts, educational institutions, and clean energy companies, we are opening doors to training, networking, and hands-on career exploration in roles that contribute to a sustainable future.
Our programs do more than build confidence and skills—they create a strong professional network and a supportive community that empower immigrant women to secure phone screenings, job interviews, offers, and admissions into higher education and vocational training programs.
