Webinar: Helping Immigrants Build Social Capital to Achieve Professional Success

Webinar Series

Helping Immigrants Build Social Capital to Achieve Professional Success
Thursday, June 23, 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EDT

“Steps to Success”, IMPRINT and WES Global Talent Bridge’s recent study on immigrant professional integration, identified a powerful correlation between the size of an immigrant’s self-reported social network and his or her likelihood of achieving professional integration and success. Given this finding, immigrant-serving organizations are looking for ways to help skilled immigrants build - and effectively utilize - their social and professional networks.

This webinar will examine research findings on the value of building social capital and provide participants with an in-depth look at two innovative programs that are addressing this challenge in their work with skilled immigrants in the U.S. and Canada.

Presenters include:

Vin Ko, Program Manager, St. Louis Mosaic Project
Racquel Sevilla, Director, Immigrant Employment Initiatives, TRIEC Professional Immigrant Networks (PINs), Toronto, Canada
James Witte, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Social Science Research (CSSR) and Research Director for the Institute for Immigrant Research, George Mason University
