Diocesan Catholic Charities renamed its “Hogar Immigrant Service
Education” program, which provides education and workforce training to
immigrants and refugees, to “Education and Workforce Development.” The new name
signifies an expansion of its previous mission to now offer services to anyone
seeking assistance navigating the job market.
“We will continue to provide the excellent education and workforce
training programs we have offered to refugees and immigrants, but,
simultaneously, want to ensure we make every effort to expand these critical
services to other individuals and families in need,” said Art Bennett, president
and CEO of Catholic Charities. “This expansion will help men and women
struggling to find their first job, or a better job, in an effort to improve
life for themselves, their families and their communities.”
Catholic Charities has offered classes to immigrants and refugees
in the Northern Virginia area at various locations since 1981, including
computer literacy, employment training, English language and more.
