@WESPicks Q3: One resource for learning marketable skills is Coursera https://t.co/rli5eIDgNF. They offer online courses, certificates, and degrees from world-class universities and companies. #ImmigrantsThrive

[One Refugee @one_refugee]

@WESPicks Many of our refugee students have reduced hours or have lost their jobs (a plight students around the country are facing). They are nervous about finding other work because of multi-generational housing situations; contaminating aging parents or grandparents is a serious risk.

We look forward to joining the conversation today and sharing ideas about how to help #immigrantsthrive during this worldwide pandemic.
