Book excerpt: Most individuals agree that it doesn't make sense to have immigrant professionals--doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, and others--in the Washington region, or any other region, working in entry-level service jobs, as many currently do. This guide not only addresses such issues as how to resume the profession you held in your former country and where to find the help to achieve that goal, but it also provides suggestions and sound advice for reaching a middle ground between resuming that profession and moving up from the entry level job you now have. Complete with the first steps for re-careering, for improving their American English, for getting an education that meets their needs and the requirements of the profession, and for finding financial help for additional training and education, this reference provides general information about the American culture and process for improving your American English, developing your career, understanding and working with the American higher education system, and obtaining educational financial aid. Full contact information for federal, state, local, and private resources in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Northern Virginia is provided. Career counselors, social workers, and others who work with immigrant clients will also find this book to be a valuable resource for assisting their clients. This step-by-step guide to developing a career plan and getting the additional training or education, will help any professional who has recently arrived or has been working in the United States achieve their career goals.

Between complex immigration processes and successful settling in the new country is a chasm that swallows the unfortunate and the ignorant. So, while some migrants find green pastures, many are lost in the desert of "survival" jobs and trapped in the vicious cycle of frustration.

He believes that when you learn from real stories of real people and selfless insiders, you can prepare yourself better on how to deal with change, relocation, and other major shifts in life. You can take the necessary actions to maximize gains, minimize pains, and achieve your goals. This quick and easy-to-read guide book: -Unpacks the foundational principles of maximizing your strengths, managing your weaknesses, and achieving your goals. -Reveals master frameworks for communication, qualifications, work experience, and networking. -Teaches you to understand the critical place of showing up! While intending, new and relatively more settled immigrants are the ideal audience for this book, non-immigrants and other stakeholders will also find useful hints and tips for job-seeking and cultural intelligence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community colleges serve as a critical gateway to English-language instruction, higher education, workforce training, and civic engagement for many immigrants and refugees looking to gain an economic foothold in the labor market and integrate into the social fabric of their communities. Coming from various walks of life with different goals and aspirations, immigrants and refugees have turned to community colleges to help them further their education, prepare for citizenship, or launch new careers. At a time when our nation is facing bitter political divides over its immigration policies and gridlock at the federal level, this book tells a different story: It showcases the exemplary initiatives of community colleges and their partners working together at local and state levels to integrate immigrants and refugees into the economic, social, and cultural fabric of our communities and our country, and it illustrates the various ways immigrant and refugee students enrich campus life, strengthen communities, and benefit our economy. This book focuses on two key components of successful immigrant and refugee integration: multisector partnerships that have been essential for increasing immigrant and refugee students’ college and career readiness and assuring their transition to further education, training, or jobs; and strategies related to replicating and scaling best-practice models and the policy implications involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration has always been part of the fabric of America's history and its future. However, the emphasis on high-skilled workers-today's foreign graduates at US universities with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math-is a fairly new phenomenon. The effects of "reverse brain drain" are becoming increasingly common, as professionals have begun taking knowledge and skills they've learned in America back to their home countries. Policymakers are realizing that foreign students are not only a major pipeline to innovators, but are also the catalysts behind the growth of new ideas and capital. In An Immigrant's Guide to Making It in America, Virgilia Kaur Pruthi reveals why this is the best time in modern US history for young immigrants to begin making their mark by highlighting the stories of a diverse set of those who've made it in America. Filled with practical advice on how to navigate the immigration system and tip for adjusting to US culture and understanding the visa process, the book gives readers the knowledge they need to succeed. An Immigrant's Guide to Making It in America presents a complicated process in an accessible format and is useful for the recently immigrated as it is for those long in the United States, looking for inspiration in the stories of their new peers. "I wrote this book for those looking to understand what it takes to succeed in America," Kaur Pruthi writes. "It is meant to follow you through your time as a student, a job-seeker, a family-starter, and a hopeful candidate for a green card and citizenship. It also tells the stories of immigrants who came to America, each motivated by unique aspirations. I aim to demystify the current immigration terminology while sharing tips on how to succeed in America from those who have been through the process." In chapters that detail the various issues for immigrants and naturalized citizens to understand Kaur Pruthi covers such topic as: The Current State looks at the evolution of immigration in America and takes a look at some of the hard statistics that shape our nation's diversity and education system. The People highlights the stories of more than thirty-five immigrants who hail from more than thirty countries and possess an extremely diverse set of professional backgrounds. They share their most honest advice and their stories are divided into the most common traits immigrants exude, including the bridging the gap between two cultures, getting comfortable with networking and building relationships, being open to the unknown, setting clear goals in life and remaining focused, and being confident of their own willpower and forward-thinking despite any barriers. The Skills lists the necessary skills people should be aware of and utilize in order to grow and succeed in any profession. The Real Answers addresses the most frequently asked questions posed by immigrants when moving, working, and continuing a life in America. The States details the demographics, trends toward immigrants and employment outlook of all fifty states. Resources highlights organizations in America that are doing incredible work for immigrants that individuals coming to this country should feel comfortable in approaching if in need while The Glossary is meant to translate the bureaucratic terminology, from A-Number to Visa Waiver, it's your portable dictionary to immigration. "I would love for my readers to take apart this book by extracting the information that is most important to them at a certain stage in life," Kaur Pruthi writes. "My aim is to make information about immigration and visas more accessible and clear without getting blindsided by politics. I hope that what you learn about the immigration system in this book will help you stay positive, patient, and courageous throughout your journey in the United States."
