Lincoln was selected as one of eight communities in the country for the Skilled Immigrant Integration Program grant from Washington DC-based, WES. The goal of the effort is to reconnect refugee and immigrant professionals to their careers through work and education placement. For example, an air traffic controller from Iraq or a veterinarian from the Sudan. This effort is co-led by LPED, Nebraska Appleseed, Asian Community and Cultural Center, Civic Nebraska, Southeast Community College and the City of Lincoln. The group is creating maps to visually illustrate the process of becoming educated and certified in the United States for teachers, engineers, lawyers, medical professionals and accountants.
