SUPPORT AND OUTCOMES

To support the ongoing success of our participants, BD’s full-time case manager ensures that new refugees and their families receive access to the wrap-around services they need. Our case manager guides individuals to create a personal service plan that identifies both short and long-term goals along with the specific steps needed to achieve them. We also coordinate with other organizations, local schools, and businesses to connect participants with permanent employment opportunities, continuing education, and industry-specific training.

Refugees graduate from the Granola Production Training program with a portfolio that includes a certificate of completion, job readiness evaluation, resume, and professional references.

EVIDENCE OF SUCCESS

Since we began our granola production training in 2013, more than 200 refugees have successfully completed the program. Each year, approximately  80% of our graduates find permanent employment.   

BD graduates often move on into first jobs in production, packaging, custodial services, hotel housekeeping, warehouse, culinary, and hospitality. Others opt for further education and training. Some have been able to purchase homes and cars, send their children to college, and open businesses of their own.
