State and city officials hail opening of immigrant professional aid office in Detroit | MLive.com:
"DETROIT, MI – A new Detroit office to help skilled, legal immigrants enter the professional workforce is not about finding work for some sets of Detroiters over others, according to city officials.
“We know we have a lot of Detroiters who are unemployed,” said Andre Spivey, a District 4 City Councilman who will co-chair a committee overseeing the new office along with Councilwoman Raquel Castaneda-Lopez of District 6.
“This is not an ‘or,’ it’s an ‘and.’”
The non-profit Upwardly Global is opening the office in a space donated by Michigan State University at its 3408 Woodward Ave. site.
.....It will have a particular focus on engineers, which have been in high demand and short supply, according to Bing Goei, the director of the Michigan Office for New Americans, which was launched by Gov. Rick Snyder in January."
