*** Career Support for Immigrant Professionals *** Pathways to Success: Empowering Immigrant Professionals Through Networking Tuesday, January 9 @ 6 pm ET If you are an immigrant professional looking for your first job or searching for a better one, join us for this Zoom meeting for career advice and support. Our meetings are designed for people new to the US job market or those who have their first job and want to develop their careers. Networking and social connections are crucial for immigrant professionals, and job opportunities often rely on network connections. The absence of a network can hinder your progress, so we will talk about building a professional network in the US and how to overcome the challenges many people face. David Wragg and Karen Cervera Noriega will share their experiences, and you'll learn from others about networking with professional groups, networking events, online networking platforms like LinkedIn, volunteering, cultural and language groups, informational interviews, and more!

Have you caught Let's Talk Philly at The Philadelphia Inquirer today? 🤓 We are beyond happy to have had the opportunity to talk with Massarah from the Philadelphia Inquirer about Let's Talk Philly's work in the community, the importance of building agency, independence, and confidence among peers, and also what the mission means on a more personal level to Karen Cervera Noriega and Yu-Shan Chou, the co-founders of Let's Talk Philly. We wish we could have everyone who has made LTP what it is today feature in these stories, but we are grateful to everyone, regardless of your role in our organization. We appreciate all of you! We want to give a big shout-out to our core team of wonderful women leaders: Flor Salgado, Jieun Kim, Coral I. Zayas-Colon, Rui Luo, and our mentors and advisors, Maureen Murugi Smith and Manuel Portillo. Each has brought unique contributions, experiences, and skills to our team, and we are eternally grateful for their commitment to LTP's mission of improving the immigrant experience and making Philadelphia a better city for all. Also, a big thank you to Chen Lo (Jane), a participant, facilitator, organizer in our program, and beautiful human being, for sharing her experience and story for this interview.
