IMPRINT works closely with business, government, higher education and other partners to raise awareness about the talents and contributions of immigrant professionals.
In particular, IMPRINT works to streamline complex professional licensing and re-credentialing processes, and advocate for the adoption of policies and best practices that facilitate the rapid integration of these skilled workers.
