In existence since October 1999,
the R.E.V.E.S.T Program has served over 7000 individuals to date by
providing Vocational English for Speakers of Other Languages,
Post-Secondary Adult Vocational Training Courses, Employability
Skills, and GED/Adult Basic Education. The R.E.V.E.S.T Program was
created to serve the English language and vocational training needs
of adult refugees, entrants, political asylees, victims of severe
forms of trafficking, and Amersians in Miami-Dade County. Apart
from training, the R.E.V.E.S.T Program also provides academic
assessment, long term advisement, referrals to other service
agencies, transportation and childcare subsidies, and assistance
with the translation and evaluation of foreign earned credentials.
The R.E.V.E.S.T Program is made possible by funding from the State
of Florida Department of Children and Families Division of Refugee
Services. |
