As a leader in refugee hiring with a long-standing commitment to refugee inclusion in their workforce and the U.S. economy, Accenture has partnered with Upwardly Global over the last 20-years to advance this work. They have committed to the ongoing training of their employees to support inclusive hiring practices and will leverage Upwardly Global’s e-learning inclusion training courses in working with recruiters and hiring managers to more effectively screen and interview refugee talent and advocate for the candidates. Learn more about Upwardly Global’s e-learning inclusion training here.
“Two specific modules that were especially helpful for us at Accenture were the ‘Cultural Awareness & Hiring Bias’ and ‘Legal Pathways & Work Authorization’ modules. The Cultural Awareness module breaks down definitions of certain myths and how they can affect hiring decisions, and the Legal Pathways module helps avoid misunderstanding about work authorization of immigrants and refugees.
The sample scenarios and candidate stories throughout the training modules made it easy to apply to our day-today work. There are also great resource PDF’s within the modules that you can download as takeaways that can be shared with other recruiters or hiring managers.”
