Better Together: Access Tools for Labor Mobility in North America

Immigrants and Refugees exert a profound impact, their arrival brings diverse perspectives, skills, and talents that enrich the cultural fabric and drive economic growth. North American stakeholders from all sectors can further their collaboration to ensure a safe haven with employment, education, financial inclusion and social insertion. The panel “Better Together: Access Tools for Labor Mobility of Refugees in North America” will make the case for advancing a policy agenda that allows the newcomers to contribute and give back to their host communities while building together a more resilient, diverse, and prosperous future for all people in the region.
