Boise Library Branches Offer Career Counseling for Refugees, New Americans
Library teams with International Rescue Committee for “Career Pathways†program

Refugees, immigrants, and new Americans can get valuable career counseling through a new program offered by the Boise Public Library and the International Rescue Committee.

Called “Career Pathways,†the program is geared toward job seekers with valuable skills and training who are unable to use them due to a lack of certification, licensing, or networking resources. The goal of the program is to help the underemployed reach their career and earning potential, and secure a more fulfilling job.

The two-hour sessions are offered twice monthly through December at the Hillcrest and Collister branches. Specific days, times, and branches are listed below.
