What is our Employer Partnership Program?
This Employer Partnership Program (EPP) is a hiring partnership between Women of the World and employers to assist forcibly displaced women with an efficient pathway to safe, secure and high-paying jobs with benefits and opportunities for upward mobility. The EPP builds on our mission to empower women from all nations to achieve economic success.
Employment is one of the biggest steps towards self-reliance. However, there are many challenging aspects for our clients as they seek employment - language barriers, cultural differences, and technological hurdle. Through the EPP, we assist everyone through the entire hiring process, free of charge for both parties, making it more efficient and effective for both our ladies and for the employers.
why hire our clients?
On average, 1 of our clients provides for 4 individuals. This means that by providing employment, you are taking part in one of the most impactful steps toward self-sufficiency for some of our community's most vulnerable.
The backgrounds of our women speak for their adaptability & resilience. Many of them are quick to learn and innovative in the workplace - possessing unique, transferrable skills and contributing to a diverse workforce. These reliable, skilled women come pre-screened by our services and have all legal documentation necessary. The Women of the World staff are available to assist in follow up communication, onboarding forms, orientation processes, or early performance reviews, if necessary. We view our partnerships as a win/win situation. Our services have the potential to cut employer hiring and training costs and reduce turnover rates.
What are the benefits of a partnership?
Reliable Candidates
Applicants are pre-screened for qualifications and motivations, ensuring they are accountable & ready to work for a sustained period of time. WoW can also assist with necessary documentation and orientation procedures.
Overcoming Barriers
Because English is a barrier and the application process is increasingly digital, newcomers to the US find it difficult to make an initial introduction and understand the parameters of onboarding and position descriptions. WoW acts as a bridge between amazing women and businesses looking for employees to arrange application materials, interviews, and new hire paperwork.
Lower Turnover
Individual job-readiness training can be provided along with assistance communicating needs or navigating conflicts, should they arise.
Tax Credits
Providing employment to certain WoW clients may qualify you for Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC).
Community Recognition
Partners are recognized on media outlets, at regular conferences, speaking events, & press releases.
