Organization Name: Global Talent Bridge

We join with institutional partners and community-based organizations to help skilled immigrants leverage their training, achieve their career and professional goals, and contribute their talents to their full potential.
A Strong Foundation
Global Talent Bridge grew out of World Education Services' 35-year history of validating and analyzing the academic credentials of immigrants trained abroad. Inspired by its clients' vast talents, this initiative was launched to empower skilled immigrants and maximize their contributions to their new communities and the nation's economy.
Areas of activity include:
• Professional development activities, including staff training and other forms of technical assistance, for community organizations, government agencies and employers
• Direct outreach to skilled immigrants, including seminars and comprehensive online resources

Organization Name: Global Talent Retention Initiative
Organization Overview: GTRI focuses on strengthening and diversifying the state's economy through the retention of top international talent. By retaining international students, GTRI is a catalyst to lessening the skills gap in the STEM fields especially, and cultivating a climate in which Michigan businesses can be competitive in the new economy. GTRI collaborates with the Governor's office, the Office for New Americans, Global Detroit, over 30 Michigan Universities, the University Research Corridor (URC), the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), Michigan's economic development agencies, ethnic chambers, professional organizations, and employers throughout the state.
GTRI is funded by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the New Economy Initiative (NEI), and is housed in partnership with Prima Civitas.
GTRI was originally formed as a result of the Global Detroit Study about the impact of immigrant talent on the region’s economy. Studies have shown that immigrants disproportionately contribute to economic growth, employment, and wage gains. In addition, more than 50% of PhDs and sometimes as much as 40% of master’s degrees in the STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) are awarded each year in the U.S. to international students. Since IT and engineering are the fastest growing industries, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find qualified candidates for high level tech positions if international students are not considered as part of an employer’s applicant pool.
