Common Ground is an experiential job-training program for the refugee community. We provide industry-wide job and language skills in a ‘classroom meets lab’ setting.  We focus on job specific language acquisition–primarily through simulated conversational instruction and interactive learning.  We do on-site job-training at a variety of entry-level job locations (restaurants, hotels, etc.).  We emphasize customer service and cashier skills, restaurant job skills (dishwashing, busing, serving, etc.), hotel and housekeeping, janitorial work, laundry, grocery, warehouse, and packing skills, among other job readiness preparation.
