Miami, Aug. 6, 2018 – Registration is now open for Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Refugee/Entrant Vocational Education Services Training (REVEST) Program. This acclaimed program is the entry point for new Americans seeking education and employment opportunities. It has served the English-language and vocational needs of thousands of refugees and immigrants for decades.
Information sessions are ongoing. Newly arrived refugees can learn about scholarship and financial aid opportunities, academic assessment, long-term advisement, referrals to other service agencies, transportation and child care subsidies, and assistance with the translation and evaluation of foreign credentials. The REVEST program offers free of charge tuition, books, and services to qualifying students. Classes are scheduled to begin Sept. 4 and Oct. 24.
