Refugee Upskilling With Mobile, WhatsApp, and Learning Upgrade

Abstract: You can now serve large numbers of refugees and immigrants in your community with a breakthrough smartphone-based learning model. Developed through a successful global deployment with Afghan refugees, the Learning Upgrade Refugee Program uses WhatsApp to onboard large numbers of refugees and create learning community groups. Staff or volunteer coaches enroll learners into courses covering English ESL, math, test prep, and job skills. Learners use smartphones at home to complete engaging lessons for rapid growth to reach their goals of proficiency, GED, higher ed, and better jobs. Providers using this new model have documented a 4x rate of learning with 1 year of growth in 3 months. Join us to learn about this exciting new model and receive access to a no-cost pilot for your program.
