About The Position
The United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) operates globally, aiming to provide resettlement opportunities to thousands of refugees annually. IOM supports USRAP by offering services such as case processing, migration health assessments, cultural orientation training, organized transportation, and managing a travel loan and collections program. The Department of Mobility Pathways and Inclusion (DMPI), through the Resettlement and Movement Management Unit (RMM), is responsible for overseeing IOM's global support for all resettlement programs. Resettlement Support Centers (RSCs) are crucial for providing support and processing assistance for resettlement to the US under the USRAP.

This involves assisting visiting USCIS officers, facilitating security and medical screenings, providing information to US resettlement agencies, and conducting Cultural Orientation (CO) training for individuals resettling in the US.

Some locations may have sub-offices under the Deputy Project Manager's technical supervision.
