Über uns
With more and more refugees displaced around the world, businesses have a critical role to play in helping refugees integrate economically in their new communities. Tent was launched in 2016 by Hamdi Ulukaya, the CEO and founder of Chobani – a multibillion dollar food company in the U.S. – to mobilize businesses across the Americas and Europe to fill this gap. Today, Tent is a network of over 400 major companies committed to helping hundreds of thousands of refugees access local labor markets by helping them become job-ready and connecting them to work.

This week Menzies Aviation - one of the numerous companies in the aviation sector in the Tent Partnership for Refugees network leading by example in refugee hiring and integration - ran its first ‘Allies in Aviation’ event at its London HQ in partnership with Tent UK. ✈️🇬🇧 As part of this, a special employability training session was designed to help refugees aspiring to work in the industry. Refugee job seekers from a range of backgrounds were given an insider’s look at the career routes available in aviation; a crash course on effective CV writing, interview techniques, and how to stand out in the application process; and the opportunity to team build with each other and senior leaders from Menzies. This event is just one example of how Menzies Aviation - which has set a target of recruiting refugees equivalent to 1% of its global workforce by 2026 - is showing leadership and innovation in their efforts to help refugees connect to jobs, both within its own workforce and across the industry.

This month, Tent Partnership for Refugees solemnly marks the third anniversary of the fall of Kabul and the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan – a harrowing chapter for millions of Afghans. Since August 2021, nearly 160,000 Afghan refugees have sought safety and a fresh start in the U.S., yet many still face significant challenges in rebuilding their careers. Launched in March 2023, in collaboration with Hiring Our Heroes and the The Afghan-American Foundation Foundation, Tent’s Afghan Refugee Mentorship Initiative is helping to break down barriers for Afghan refugees looking to restart or advance in their careers. By harnessing the expertise and dedication of U.S. military veterans employed at leading Tent member companies like Accenture, Chobani, Hilton, Intuit, and Pfizer – we’ve provided hundreds of Afghan refugees with mentorship and guidance to reignite their careers and secure roles that truly reflect their talents, skills, and experience. Naser, one of the program’s Afghan refugee mentees, shared, “The mentorship has been incredibly valuable. It has broadened my understanding of job opportunities and the application process, aiding significantly in my job search, and in securing employment.” Discover how mentors and mentees alike have benefited from the program in this story by Laura Aka in WorkingNation, and get in touch with Tent if your company would like to get involved in supporting Afghan refugees through mentorship today. https://lnkd.in/e34_5yxq
