Undocumented/DACAmented Students – Hiring Dreamers with Work Authorization – UConn Center for Career Readiness and Life Skills

Immigrants have the qualities we seek in employees — they are entrepreneurial, resilient, and determined to succeed.

As we work to build our businesses in the wake of the pandemic, Dreamers are essential to our success.

Today there are 600,000 immigrants with active DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and 80,000 with TPS (Temporary Protected Status) who have work authorization and can legally work.

Their education and work experiences are as diverse as their backgrounds, they bring vital cultural perspectives to our businesses and are often bilingual.
