Our Work
Resettlement
ACC operates a reception and placement program through the Ethiopian Community Development Council (ECDC). Basic resettlement services are provided for up to 90 days, and case management and employment services may be provided for up to 5 years. Additional supportive services are provided through the generous contributions of partners, individuals, family foundations and former refugees.
Employment Services
ACC serves refugees of varying English levels, educational backgrounds, work histories, and career goals. They all share a certain trait: they tend to be highly motivated employees. Our job developers work with employers to meet their staffing needs with our qualified refugee candidates, while also working to match the skills of each refugee candidate with a good job.
Integration Programs
Integration Programs are the bridge between the receiving community and our new neighbors. ACC currently offers three integration programs: We Made This, a sewing and therapeutic arts program for refugee women; Driving Opportunity, a women-led, multilingual driving school; and Ready for American Hospitality, a career training program held in coordination with the University of Denver School of Hospitality.
