“I have hired many employees through IRC, sometimes having as many as six on staff at one time. Almost without exception, we have found these employees to be honest and extremely diligent. I would recommend to other employers to give IRC a try.” 
-Tim Gaughran, Subway Store Owner

IRC Employment Services

The IRC in San Diego can help employers in many ways:

• Visits to determine employers’ needs

To prepare our clients to secure gainful employment, IRC provides refugees with the following services:

• Skill and language assessments
• Job readiness training
• Purchase of tools, uniforms and other work-related expenses
• Bus passes or gas money for the first two months of employment

Why should you hire a refugee?

• Refugees are legally authorized to work in the United States
• Refugees make great employees.
• Hiring refugees is cost-effective because they are good workers. Although some of our clients are accredited in professional and technical fields, most are seeking entry level positions.
• Most refugees have overcome enormous challenges in order to come to the United States. Their determination proves to be a tremendous asset in the workplace.
• Refugees are reliable, industrious, productive, loyal and highly motivated.
• They offer bilingual skills and bring diversity to the workplace.
