This session will investigate how to build relationships with AEL providers, local employers, and LWDBs through continual communication, intentional collaboration, and community-building across the workforce systems. We will explore best practices for ensuring internationally trained professionals thrive in today’s American workplace no matter where they engage in the workforce system.
