Local non-profits Arkansas United and Ozark Literacy Council are joining forces to help immigrates integrate into the NWA workforce.

• With a growing number of immigrants and refugees settling in Northwest Arkansas, these two groups were both chosen by World Education Services to help reduce local barriers such as getting jobs, finding placements, adjusting to the culture, and settling into the community.
• The goal "...is all about opening more doors to skilled immigrant workers so they have the opportunities to pursue fulfilling careers and become even more productive members" of the community.
