A Tasty Twist on French & Francophile Networking!

The French-American Chamber of Commerce (FACC) teamed up with the Welcoming Center for a deliciously fun Business Networking Night on Wednesday, September 17th that kicked off our FACC's Fall event season with savory galettes and sweet crêpes, along with a sparkling glass (or two!) of cidre — plus other fine beverages.

But this evening wasn't just about the food and drinks — it was also a chance to connect with globally-minded business professionals from across the region and discover how the Welcoming Center's International Professionals Program (IPP) is opening doors for talented individuals right here in our community.

If you or someone you know is a new U.S. citizen, green card holder, or professional with a U.S. work authorization visa, based in Philadelphia, Chester, or Montgomery Counties- learn more about the Welcoming Center's International Professionals Program (IPP), an eight-week career accelerator, as well as the other services they offer!  The IPP runs on a regular basis and there will be more opportunities to apply for the program in the future.
