Making Your Way is for resettlement agency trainers who provide Cultural Orientation domestically. Each of the eleven content chapters starts with a short lesson called The Basics that addresses particularly pressing information for that topic. The chapters contain two to six additional lesson plans, along with supplemental images, posters, and handouts. While the complete curriculum is 761 pages, we offer The Complete Basics, individual chapters, and supplemental materials as separate downloads.
This unit focuses on the following key points:
- Getting and keeping a job is important for all adult refugees who are able to work. Employment is the fastest way to self-sufficiency and is necessary for success in the United States.
- Refugees play a central role in finding and keeping a job. An employment specialist will assist them in their search.
- Workers (or employees) in the United States have rights, such as the right to be paid for their work and to work in a safe environment. They also have responsibilities.
