Logistics:

The session will start with a catered lunch and 20-minute volunteer training/orientation. We will run two practice interviews of 45 minutes each – 30 minutes for the interview, 10 minutes for face-to-face feedback, and 5 minutes for our written feedback form.

Following the mock interviews we will have a networking session which provides the opportunity meet our talented job seekers while they get to practice their networking skills and meet more industry professionals. The program will conclude with participants sharing best practices and recommendations.

One of the biggest hurdles facing these talented professionals upon their arrival in the U.S. is developing professional resumes, interviewing and networking skills to succeed in the U.S. job market. Just a few hours of your time can mean a new life for these fully work-authorized professional refugees and immigrants.

See highlights from a past Global Talent Idaho Career Summit and learn more about the job seekers we serve.

October Monthly Drive - AIDA Idaho Wildlife Rescue
Animals In Distress Association, Inc. (AIDA) is a nonprofit  volunteer organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and successful release of injured, displaced and orphaned wildlife. Founded in 1987 by a group of individuals who recognized the need for organized wildlife rehabilitation in the state of Idaho, AIDA consists of state and federally licensed rehabilitators and those volunteers who assist then in their efforts. AIDA is funded entirely by annual membership donations, contributions and fundraising events, and receives no state or federal funding. As our population grows, so does the impact on local wildlife with loss of habitat, human interference, pollution, injuries by domestic pets, hunting, trapping, automobile mishaps, poisoning, and acts of cruelty. In each instance, AIDA seeks to find a responsible and humane solution for both wildlife and the general public
