Webinar: The Cost of Closing Doors

Did you know that 25% of Licensed Practical Nurses and Clinical Lab Technologists in Massachusetts are immigrants? Did you know that retirement communities like Carleton Willard in Bedford that rely heavily on immigrants to provide services have lost health care employees who have fled to Canada or have had their immigrant status reclassified thereby losing work permits? The International Institute of New England (IINE) provides Certified Nursing Assistant training with partners such as Middlesex Community College, and specialized English language instruction with employers like Carleton Willard. Watch this webinar from IINE to learn more about this important issue from two educators, a human resource director, and a Haitian immigrant with a pharmacology and medical degree.
