There is still space available in Hopelink's upcoming English for Work orientations.

Winter quarter orientations are offered on January 4 and 5. New students can contact us now to register.

We are eager to welcome Afghan and Ukrainian refugees into our program. Please see our webpage for flyers in Dari, Pashto, Ukrainian, and other languages.

About English for Work

This one-quarter program supports refugees and immigrants with improving their English language skills and preparing for employment. Students practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing while learning about topics such as skills and strengths, job search, resumes, and interviewing. 

Near the end of the quarter, students participate in mock interviews conducted by local employers—a highlight of the program!

Class Information

• Students participate in online class on Zoom two times per week. Hopelink computers are available to borrow if needed.
• Morning and evening class options are available.
• Classes are best for students who have intermediate or advanced-level English skills. We assess students to determine their level and help decide if our program is a good fit.
