[Immigrantrightsnynj] Immigrant Professional Training Program

[Immigrant Rights NYNJ]

Greetings,
I wanted to inform you about an ongoing program we offer here at CAMBA that may be of interest to your students, clients and people you know. Immigrant Professionals Training Program (IPTP) is a 7 week course that helps prepare professionals from abroad with continuing their career. Courses cover information about getting foreign licenses and diplomas evaluated, licensing procedures in the US and info about school systems in the US. Students who enroll also are able to arrange one-on-one sessions for career planning, assistance with registering for exams and filing out financial aid applications. IPTP clients have professional backgrounds in diverse fields such as accounting, journalism, education, agronomy, law, medicine, business, and social work.  Since the program began, IPTP has served more than 100 refugees, asylees, and victims of trafficking, representing more than 25 different countries.

Successful IPTP participants have pursued a variety of career paths:


 *   IPTP has helped 20 teachers apply for a teaching certificate from the NY State Education Department.
 *   Two IPTP clients with backgrounds in community development and micro-finance were selected for internships with CAMBA's Small Business Services Program.
 *   With help from CAMBA, a nutritionist from West Africa got a job as an HIV Treatment Educator and Adherence Specialist.  Since participating in IPTP he has started a Physicians Assistant program at City College.


We are currently enrolling students for a course beginning this month. Enroll soon because space is limited.
Please see the attached document for more information or contact me at 718-282-0108 x273.

Thank you,
Marc
