Who we are fuels what we do. Our leadership team strongly believes Bridge should amplify our people’s personal passions for improving immigration, a cause close to their hearts. Everyone has something to contribute and so do you.
Two million skilled immigrants and refugees in the US are unemployed or in low-skill jobs despite advanced education and professional experience, and millions more globally face similar challenge.
Upwardly Global is a national, award-winning nonprofit organization with offices in San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Detroit.
Upwardly Global helps work-authorized, skilled immigrants rebuild their professional careers in the U.S. by providing professional job-search training and access to employers with global talent needs.
To date, the organization has coached 5,000 skilled immigrants and has assisted over 2,000 professionals back into their career field.
Upwardly Global offers an excellent opportunity for volunteers to work hands on with immigrants to the US on their interviewing skills and resume building skills. The staff prepares volunteers during a brief session prior to being partnered up with a job-seeker.
We were so glad to host an evening of training in our Chicago offices. Several members of our wonderful and highly engaged Client Services team had taken care of all the planning and the event was a total success.
We can't wait to host another event in San Francisco!
Unlocking opportunities through pro-bono expert guidance for immigrants and job seekers.
Being welcoming and rallying people around shared positive values, especially at a time when divisiveness is rampant.
Increasing our collective impact in the community through employee-led activities to remove barriers to opportunity.
We aim to nurture a vibrant, global movement equipped with tools for learning and advocating. From the stories of our clients, ideas from leading thinkers, to news on the status of immigration and ways to take action, we wish to make belonging and hiring without borders a reality for everyone.
