The Employment Program at Caritas provides clients opportunities to find and keep jobs so they may support themselves and their families. Clients — refugees and non-refugees — receive assistance with short-term job placement as well as long-term career development.

Many of those we help find employment are documented refugees. For more information, read our Refugee Employment Eligibility and FAQs on the Refugee Resettlement Page.
