Join CareerLadder and the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development (LPED) for the first webinar in this fall's series, Immigration Essentials for Employers: Best Practices for Hiring and Supporting Immigrant Workers.

"Nebraska is at risk of becoming a health care desert. Thirty counties currently lack hospitals, staff and infrastructure serving the rural population. At the same time, many of the hospitals we do have lack nurses and rely on hiring traveling labor from other states, which is costly. It’s estimated Nebraska needs to hire 5,435 nurses to fill this gap. Migrants play an essential role at all levels of the health care ecosystem — and they are vital when foreign patients face linguistic and sociocultural challenges. Nebraska is home to a growing and diversified migrant population. In 2021, nearly 143,000 of the state’s residents were foreign born. A portion of these workers were heath care workers in their home countries, yet cannot work in their field in the United States." CareerLadder is committed to supporting foreign trained healthcare providers to have the tools they need to enter their fields of training.

This week, CareerLadder Director Lee Kreimer is in Brussels for the Displaced Talent for Europe Conference hosted by Talent Beyond Boundaries, the IOM, and the European Commission to learn more about creative solutions to support labor migration and skilled migrant integration.
