Refugee Job Training and Placement (RJTP) is a grant program from the Nebraska Department of Economic Development that funds Nebraska-based nonprofit organizations providing employment and employability services for refugees. The program aims to bridge employment and income disparities between refugee and native-born populations, which widened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research shows refugees face significantly higher rates of unemployment than their immigrant counterparts, and RJTP grants help nonprofits deliver the job training and placement services needed to support refugees in building economic stability in Nebraska communities.
