All of Upwardly Global's program participants have a university education, (more than 50 percent have master's degrees), and have an average of 10 years of work experience in their respective fields.
  • Cross-cultural and Multilingual Talent: with 12.5 percent (38.5 million) of the current U.S. population being immigrants (Batalova and Terrazas, 2010), companies who hire employees that are representative of their consumer base are better equipped to attract ethnic markets.
  • Loyal Employees: Due to the desire to establish a new life in the U.S., Upwardly Global job seekers have a high sense of job loyalty and dedication and, thus minimize employer workforce turnover costs. Currently, we boast a yearly retention rate of 80-90 percent.
  • Flexible and Adaptable Workforce: Immigrant job seekers are no longer settling only in the six states (California, New York, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, and Illinois) in which they have traditionally lived, but are eager to relocate to nontraditional states for employment.
  • Employee Engagement: Upwardly Global brings skill-based volunteer opportunities for employees to develop mentoring, interviewing, leadership, and cross-cultural communication skills by sharing their relevant professional experience with skilled immigrants.
