At Upwardly Global, we are dedicated to helping work-authorized immigrant, refugee, and asylee professionals secure meaningful, skill-aligned employment in the U.S. With over two million highly skilled immigrants and refugees currently unemployed or underemployed, our work is more crucial than ever.
We’re excited to share that our partnership with Cisco — a global leader in networking, security, collaboration, cloud management, and other technology innovations — is enabling us to expand our impact and innovate our services. As announced on Cisco’s blog, Cisco’s new round of funding will enable Upwardly Global to develop and integrate two AI-powered upgrades for our suit of career-readiness tools.
“In 2021, Upwardly Global released their AI job pathways tool, which provides a faster way to plan and execute job searches. Upwardly Global’s newest round of funding from Cisco will enable them to pilot and integrate two new AI upgrades that continue to transform the job search process: a career navigation assistant that can map out career paths, and an AI-powered resume and cover letter builder to strengthen applications before being submitted to recruiters. Piloting this new tool with current clients is paramount in helping Upwardly Global to develop a user-centric model that reflects the needs of the immigrant community. Upon integration, Upwardly Global expects that these new tools will help job seekers move through their program more quickly, providing quality income earlier and allowing Upwardly Global to help more individuals overall.”
