Attracting and retaining talent in Philadelphia the focus of new credentialing program for high-skilled immigrants

I have met and talked to people working with the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians in Philadelphia. Immigrant Professionals and foreign credentials is one of the issues they discussed. They talked of one medical professional (a Doctor or Nurse) who took a job at a hospital as a janitor because they wanted to work in the medical field and it was too hard to transfer their credentials. Hopefully, this program will develop a process to help.
