Reclaiming Careers for Skilled Idahoans, Immigrants and Refugees,
Retaining Local Talent

Global Talent, a program of Jannus, Inc., was started in 2014 to address the individual and systemic barriers to employment that well-educated and highly skilled Idahoans, immigrants, and refugees face. 

Through partnerships with Upwardly Global, The Idaho Department of Labor, College of Western Idaho, local refugee resettlement agencies, committed volunteers, employer collaborations, and dedicated staff, we helped change peoples’ lives and showcase their true potential. As a result, 100+ Global Talent alumni have obtained professional positions that more fully utilize their skills and talents, helping to make our community stronger, more sustainable, and prosperous for all.
