BACKGROUND
The mission of the International Rescue Committee
(IRC) is to help people whose lives and livelihoods are shattered by conflict
and disaster to survive, recover and gain control of their future. At the IRC
in Wichita, we welcome refugees from several different regions by providing
them with resettlement assistance and services that allow them to restart their
lives here in the U.S. Each year, the IRC in Wichita resettles refugees from
Burma, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Eritrea, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic
of Congo. Many of the refugee clients that the IRC Wichita serves arrive with
limited knowledge of the U.S. culture (work, financial services, language,
etc.) and must re-start their lives with the assistance of
the IRC.
SCOPE OF WORK
Recently, the IRC Wichita partnered with Microenterprise Development
(MED) program were granted to implement services supporting underrepresented
and underserved entrepreneurs and refugees to be able to recover, grow, or
start their businesses. These programs will be the ‘boots on the ground’ that
will connect these existing and future entrepreneurs to critical resources and
assistance, including technical assistance, and access to capital and
industrial specific training.
The Microenterprise Outreach Intern will work
closely with the Small Business Counselor and Microenterprise Development
Coordinator to support their strategic outreach plans, build awareness on and
recruit existing small business owners and potential entrepreneurs to grow or
start their businesses.
