“Hundreds of refugees from Afghanistan have recently settled here in Austin, as their country was taken over by the Taliban. But moving your family from another part of the world and trying to find a job in a new country can be difficult.
Global Impact Initiative is a nonprofit in Austin that helps refugees get settled and find jobs. They offer English-language classes, help with resumes, have academic mentors for kids and much more. Most recently, they just launched a new program to help people get their CDL, or commercial driver's license.”
