God forbid I have to go to Pawtucket

Check out apprenticeship.gov. They have a job finder tool

Also reach out and see what programs CCRI or other community colleges are currently running and what employers are working with them: https://www.ccri.edu/workforce/index.html

Also the DLT for Rhode island posts open apprenticeship listings.

Best of luck!

Welcome to Rhode island! There's a good community here, don't let the cold exterior fool you, people can be kind and helpful :) Having English is a good start, especially when looking for work and resources. Some things I would check out:

Dorcas International- an amazing agency that helps with resettlement, employment, immigration, etc

Local library branch- all you need is an address and it seems your family member has one. From there you can access workshops, computers, printing, etc all for free. And the librarians I've met are wonderful and can connect you to other things in the communities.

I don't know where you are coming from, but there are many churches, community groups, and more where you can get connected to other folks who share your background. Chances are there are people who have gone through the same steps already!

Feel free to dm me if you have more questions too

Hi! If you're a member of a buy nothing page on Facebook I would post there as well or on Nextdoor as you can contact your neighbors more directly.

Give your pup lots of snuggles ❤️
