Nebraska Refugee Job Training and Placement Program - Nebraska Department of Economic Development Home / Programs / Economic Recovery / Nebraska Refugee Job Training and Placement Program Nebraska Refugee Job Training and Placement Program (RJTP) The Nebraska Refugee Job Training and Placement (RJTP) Program has been developed to assist Nebraska-based non-profit organizations for the purpose of job training and placement grants for employment and employability services for refugees.
The RJTP Program is intended to help bridge disparities in employment and income between the refugee and native-born populations. These disparities widened during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the data applies to a broader population (foreign-born) than refugees, academic studies support DED’s conclusions.
A study that compares refugees and immigrants from Iraq who live in Michigan found that refugees were twice as likely to be unemployed. Furthermore, refugees experienced more barriers in finding a job equivalent to what they held in their home country or a job that matched their academic or professional experience. What Can the Grants Be Used for?
