Employment & Career Services for Immigrants in Delaware County

Finding a job is usually a priority for many immigrants once they arrive in the U.S. It helps them integrate into their new community and become independent while establishing a new life. However, despite the many jobs across the U.S. and the resources available to help immigrants get a job, getting one can be challenging. This largely comes from the inability to identify the right job, meet application requirements, and inadequate interview preparation, among other setbacks.

At PA CareerLink® Delaware County, we can help you find a job through our job service for immigrants. We offer various services, including job search assistance, interview practice, and resume preparation.

Advancement and Career Growth

With the U.S. providing room for career improvement, it’s best to seek ways to advance and grow your career even after securing your first job opportunity. Thankfully, with our job services, you can easily find programs and access services to help your career advancement and growth. Here are some of the ways that PA CareerLink® Delaware County can help you:

Skill Assessment

Ongoing skill assessment ensures that potential employes meet new demands in their jobs or fields.

This includes evaluating knowledge, proficiency, and abilities related to any job.

Our skills assessment consists of interviews, simulations, examinations, and tests. Once we determine skill levels, we can plan or connect you to relevant on-the-job training programs to improve them.

Connecting to On-the-job Training

On-the-job training allows immigrants to improve their careers without breaking from their activities. We can help you access programs like Delaware OJT training, which enables employees to develop the skills and abilities needed to perform in jobs. We help immigrants access this program through their employers, who are set to receive their incentives.
