How can refugees who had professional jobs in their home country obtain United States credentials?

If a refugee has attained a foreign high school degree or diploma they may be able to have it evaluated, as long as they have their degree and transcripts. World Education Services is the best resource for this process - refugees will have to open an account and send in their documents. There is a fee associated with having their degree evaluated, but they will not be billed until it has been confirmed that they have the necessary documentation. 

The following resources may be helpful for refugees who have come from professional careers and wish to continue working in their field after resettling in the United States:

Global Talent Bridge
Upwardly Global
