Pheonah Kisembo and Hilary Haskell from the nonprofit organization Hope and Help Together, which works to support immigrant and refugee populations by facilitating resources and relationships in Northeast Wisconsin, are this week's podcast guests. On the heels of a lunch and learn presentation to the NEW Manufacturing Alliance earlier this week, Pheonah and Hilary sit down with NEW Manufacturing Insights co-hosts Ann Franz and Kate Bruns, along with Insight editor Amelia Compton Wolff, who wrote about immigrant and refugee hiring for the latest issue of Insight on Manufacturing magazine.
On this episode, sponsored by Wisconsin Public Service, learn more about the immigrant and refugee neighbors Hope and Help Together serves, why Hope and Help Together was inspired to launch the Fox Valley Newcomer Project in 2022, and why manufacturers can and should embrace the benefits of hiring immigrants, not just to strengthen their talent pool but also to enrich their companies and communities.
