Company overview

Upwardly Global is the leading national nonprofit dedicated to helping immigrants, refugees, and asylees with professional credentials restart their careers in the U.S. What began with one idea — that global talent should not be wasted — has grown into a movement that dismantles barriers and connects newcomers with career-aligned opportunities. We envision a future where everyone, including immigrants, has the opportunity to fully contribute their unique talents to the workforce. Inclusion is not just the right thing to do; it drives innovation and progress. We know that when immigrants contribute their talent and expertise to the right jobs, the results lift up the U.S. economy, strengthen communities, and create generational impact.For the last 25 years, we’ve worked to reshape systems and create pathways for immigrant professionals, and we’re just getting started.
