CCHR’s expanded Immigrant Employment Rights Program provides English language learners with vital information about immigrant employment rights though its two English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) curriculums. CCHR and its partner, the NY Immigration Coalition, have joined teachers of intermediate and advanced ESOL adult literacy classes to offer the courses through the City’s three public library systems.

CCHR developed a workbook with two intermediate-level lessons and a DVD with examples. The first lesson, “Working in the United States,” explains the employment I-9 Form, the required documents for verifying identity and work authorization, and how to recognize document abuse by an employer. The second lesson, “Discrimination in the Workplace,” explains types of discrimination that a worker can experience based upon their national origin or citizenship status.
