On this webinar, experts and state refugee resettlement program leaders discuss two activities that can be key parts of a broader strategy for sustaining and improving employment services for refugees: Partnerships with experts in workforce development strategies, and access to federal workforce development funding.

Addressing the deep-rooted integration challenges unearthed by large-scale migration and rapid social change will require a combination of strategies. Governments in Europe and North America must create a new social contract for increasingly diverse societies that are confronting cycles of disruption. This report sketches a blueprint for an adaptive process oriented by skill needs rather than national origins.

India is the world's largest source for immigrant physicians, and for Indian-trained doctors and nurses the allure of working abroad is strong despite an acute domestic shortage of health-care workers. Against this pull, the Indian government has enacted a number of policies to limit and regulate the emigration of health-care professionals, though these have been more ad hoc in nature and not part of a fully realized strategy.

Experts share how states have approached Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) implementation, and areas where the law and state efforts to support English Learners can be improved.

All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have developed blueprints to meet their commitments under the Every Student Succeeds Act—including requirements that aim to raise the profile of English Learners (EL) in state accountability systems. This report breaks these plans down, comparing the significant diversity of approaches taken on everything from EL identification to tracking academic achievement.

Interested in answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about immigration and immigrants in the United States? This incredible resource collects in one place top statistics from authoritative government and nongovernmental sources, offering a snapshot of the immigrant population, visa and enforcement statistics, and data on emerging trends, including the slowing of growth of the foreign-born population, changing origins, and increasing educational levels.

States publish a wealth of data about their English Learner students’ academic achievement and other outcomes such as graduation rates. But the answer to the question “Who is an EL?” is not always the same. This brief explains how the EL subgroup varies across states and types of data, and why it is important to understand these differences when making decisions about how ELs and schools are faring.

When it comes to bacon, it's everything in moderation... This recipe uses bacon as a seasoning.

A modern flavour twist on an old favourite. Enjoy!

This gourmet vinegar is often the choice for a vinaigrette dressing when making a classic French leafy green salad but it's so easy to make at home. It's worth using a good quality white wine vinegar. You could also use a local cider vinegar. Either way, the flavour is beautifully aromatic. Tarragon vinegar will last for well over a year. Be sure to use un-sprayed tarragon.

This delicious, easy to make sauce keeps for up to 10 days in the refrigerator. It's perfect for spooning over cooked pears or apples, chocolate cake or brownies, muffins, apple pie, icecream, waffles, crepes and more.

Anyone can make this jam in about 10 minutes! It surpasses almost any product you can buy. If giving as a gift it's best to make the jam only a few weeks ahead of time as the flavour will be fresher and the colour brighter. Store this jam in the refrigerator.

Turn new season cherries into an exotic condiment. These make an elegant accompaniment to pates, terrines, baked ham, roast quail, cheese boards, or serve on antipasto platters to accompany charcuterie or any smoked or cured meats. Add them to a salad containing smoked chicken.

This syrup is delicious and well worth the time involved. While it tastes sweet it is natural and sugar-free. Add a tablespoonful to any chopped fresh fruit - berries, mango, pineapple, papaya, banana, grapes - and it will balance and enhance the flavours. It's also great served over waffles, crepes or ice cream.

Referred to as a Japanese 'pizza', okonomiyaki is probably best described as a cabbage fritter. There are many versions that can include seafood, pork belly, kimchi or cheese, and either served with the sauce described or with Japanese mayonnaise. Delicious snack food, which can also be a meal.

I love Christmas my all time favourite time of year. It's also a great time for awesome summer sweet produce. Muscovado brown sugar is a treacle like flavour and makes a welcome texture to a traditional pavlova.

This light and lovely salad is designed to go with ham, turkey, pork, chicken or quail. You could even add shredded, smoked chicken to the recipe and serve as a luncheon or light dinner dish.

I absolutely adore a rich moist fruit cake laced with brandy. We love this cake in our house and will stay fresh in a airtight tin for months.

Simple things are often the best, and never more so than in cooking. Although it's tempting to gild the lily, sometimes the best thing you can do with beautiful ingredients is keep things as simple as possible - and this light, refreshing sorbet is a case in point. The flavours are true and clear, and it needs nothing more than a few orange segments and strawberry slices to finish it off.

It's rare for me to cook fresh figs as I think there is little that can better a squishy-ripe, jammy fig eaten just as is. However just sometimes when they are cheap (well, relatively speaking!) and plentiful, I make this dish; it makes a lovely, simple summer dessert. The thing to be mindful of when you're buying figs, is that they're often picked when they're under-ripe as they're easier to handle and store, however if they're like this they're rarely worth eating; look for figs that feel softly squishy when you gently cup them in your hand, and ideally have tiny splits in the tender flesh...your care will pay off in spades.

A good frittata is really simple to make, but it does need a little TLC to make sure that the eggs don't overcook. At its best the eggs are softly set and still really tender and the whole thing is such a pleasure to eat. So do take just a little extra care with this, it's really worth it.
