Economic Empowerment Program:
IRC's resettlement model focuses on the self-sufficiency of our refugee clients. Economic Empowerment supports clients through job application support, job search assistance, higher educational opportunities, financial coaching, and cash assistance programs.
Interns Responsibilities:
The intern's primary point of contact will be the Employment Program Coordinator and other caseworkers.
Interns can expect to support refugee clients’ self-sufficiency and employment goals through resume building, providing job readiness training classes, leading DART orientations, and assisting with job applications on behalf of clients. Interns will also be responsible for accurately and promptly submitting case notes detailing services they’ve provided.
Interns will have the opportunity to support clients directly in overcoming barriers to economic self-sufficiency. Interns will gain greater insight into the resettlement process for refugees in the Dallas area. IRC places a strong focus on hiring from our intern pool- if you are eager to break into international relations or political science, or are looking for nonprofit experience, this internship is for you.
