Upwardly Global

Today, immigrants to the U.S. are more educated than in any other time in our country’s history.

Approximately 50% of recently arrived immigrants have at least a bachelor’s degree, yet one in four are unable to get a job at their skill level. This leaves over two million work-authorized immigrants, refugees, and asylees with professional experience and international degrees unemployed or underemployed in survival-wage jobs to make ends meet.

For the U.S. to prosper, we must reimagine the systems that lock them out of opportunity. 

Upwardly Global is the leading organization focused on advancing workforce inclusion for work-authorized immigrants, refugees, and asylees with professional experience and international degrees by helping them secure skill-aligned jobs to ensure a diverse workforce, build resilient communities, and contribute to a robust U.S. economy.
