Hey houston friends!! My company got a grant to offer companies in our city Citizenship Services for their employees who are green card holders to help businesses strengthen their immigrant workforces. What companies are diverse in our city and might be open to this? Do you have an email/number for someone who is head of inclusion or HR at your company?

St. Luke’s Methodist Gethsemane campus has a sewing program that helps women find employment by teaching them skills that will transfer into careers. I believe they would be able to point you to businesses that are hiring women that graduate from their program.

I used to work with some folks at that campus! DM me and I can help make an intro, if you’d like.

Have you tried connecting with immigration legal clinics in Houston? They may have a good sense of the jobs people *want* to land but are having a harder time accessing.

We do have some connections with some in the area however, this grant is tricky because it is meant to support businesses with their incumbent immigrant workforces. It is really targeted to those already employed which is why we have to go through the companies themselves.

Try Roofing , Floor, Landscaping companies
