The current reality: Thousands of newcomers struggle daily to find employment matching their interests, experience, and ambitions in their host country. Without recognized credentials and in-demand skills, many talented newcomers settle for temporary or low-skilled labor, limiting their social and economic integration. ❌❌❌ Founded in Amsterdam in 2018, Blue Road Academy (formerly RefugeeForce) is an award-winning social enterprise. At Blue Road Academy, we advance the careers of newcomers with Salesforce training, professional development, and direct connections with top employers.
