23-24 ACRS Employment & Self Sufficiency Aide
 
 
 
**This position has multiple start dates and will remain open until closed** Asian Counseling and Referral Service is a nationally recognized nonprofit organization offering a broad array of human services. Employment and Citizenship services are critical for our community due to the higher unemployment rates of limited-English immigrants. In King County, over 200,000 adults do not speak English well or at all and nearly one-fourth of all low-wage earners in King County are immigrants or refugees. AAPIs represent a diverse range of languages, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds. Their needs vary and require a multi-lingual, multi-cultural approach. Some job seekers arrive in the U.S. with nontraditional work history, such as farming or fishing, while others have foreign professional credentials which do not easily transfer here. In some cases, clients are entering the workforce for the first time or may have lived in refugee camps prior to arriving in the U.S. These clients may be very disconnected to the point where finding employment is extremely challenging. ACRS Employment program promotes economic self-sufficiency by providing job-seekers with skills training, placement and retention services. The goal is to help people find long-term employment that pay living wages and offer advancement opportunities. The AmeriCorps Employment Aide will directly support this work. We plan on holding interviews from April until the position is filled. This position is contingent upon funding.
