Refugee Employment Program (REP)
The Refugee Employment Program (REP) is a program designed to provide employment and training services for CalWORKs eligible refugees residing in the United States (U.S.) up to three (3) years or less and asylees residing in the U.S. up to 3 years or less from the date they are granted asylum. Refugees/asylees eligible for Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) benefits may be eligible for REP services up to 12 months from the date of entry. The REP Program provides outreach, case management and placement services to refugees. The program also assists refugees to adjust and adapt to the American Workplace, learn English, and ultimately achieve self-sufficiency to end their dependence on public assistance. Services under this program are available to refugees who are aided through the CalWORKs and RCA Programs.
