PET facilitates the early employment and self-sufficiency of newly-arrived refugees through the development of the participants’ job-seeking and job-retention skills.  Funded through the Oregon State Refugee Program, PET works with refugees active in IRCO’s New Arrival Employment Services program to develop English language and pre-employment skills.  PET helps over 850 refugees annually to develop everyday life skills needed to participate in the competitive U.S. employment market and operate effectively in their new homeland. 

For more information, please contact Program Coordinator Damayanthi Fernando at (503) 234-1541.
