- Abstract
Many refugees face occupational deprivation during their transition to and living in new countries (Huot et al., 2021; McCarthy, 2020). Rapid employment is essential to becoming independent, which is why young adult refugees often have to accept the first job they are offered due to language barriers and a lack of meaningful opportunities (Ingvarsson et al., 2016). This report serves to share the experience of creating, implementing, and evaluating a professional development program among five young adult refugees in hopes to build foundational, transferable skills and confidence required to establish and maintain meaningful employment. All five participants improved their scores on both the confidence survey and knowledge check, indicating that this program is effective in improving appropriate workplace skills and confidence to utilize in their new country. Keywords: occupational therapy, refugees, resettlement, occupational deprivation, professional development, confidence
