    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    ORR announces the intent to award a supplement to Upwardly Global's Refugee Career Pathways program due to the significant need for career training among recent Afghan arrivals to the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome (OAW). Following resettlement, Afghan entrants will be required to quickly secure employment as a pathway to self-sufficiency. Without training in career opportunities in the U.S., many Afghan entrants will have great difficulty identifying employment opportunities that offer a path to economic self-sufficiency by drawing upon their professional skills and background.

    Statutory Authority: Immigration and Nationality Act § 412(c)(1)(A), 8 U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A).
