GEI Program Expands Outreach to Family Members


As positions for family members within the mission remain limited, FLO kicked off a season of expanded outreach through the Global Employment Initiative (GEI) program. Since May 2017, Regional Global Employment Advisors (GEAs) visited 40 posts, delivering a variety of workshops and one-on-one consultations to discuss alternate employment options with family members, while also encouraging them to remain prepared for employment inside the mission as positions become available. In addition, GEAs increased the number of articles submitted to post newsletters, and participated in Welcome to Post webinars to virtually introduce themselves and their services.
 
GEAs are available via phone, Skype, FaceTime, WhatsApp, or any communication tool that works best. Learn more on the GEI webpage. Email GEI@state.gov with questions and to contact the GEA for your post.
