During the spring of 2021, Upwardly Global launched a campaign that featured the strength, courage and talent of our women-powered job seeker workforce.
We disseminated their stories on digital platforms and encouraged volunteers, supporters and friends to share their own stories, while raising awareness of the realities facing immigrant and refugee women restarting their careers in the U.S.
Upwardly Global’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Employer Working Group is made up of over 60 corporations working together to co-create solutions to integrate immigrant and refugee talent into our workforce.
It has been a long road, but Greisy Espinosa, an Upwardly Global program alum from the Dominican Republic, is now a VP at Goldman Sachs.
