Mattapan Tech provides comprehensive support to refugees in obtaining the necessary work authorizations, ensuring they have the legal foundation to build their careers.

To maximize their potential, we conduct thorough assessments to identify their strengths and match them with industries where they are best suited to excel. This tailored approach enhances their chances of success in the job market.

Mattapan Tech offers English as a Second Language (ESL) and basic computer training to equip refugees with the language and technology skills necessary for success in their chosen fields.

Additionally, for qualified refugees, we provide advanced training to further enhance their skills and qualifications. Our goal is to empower refugees with the tools and knowledge they need to secure meaningful employment and build a sustainable future.
