About Immigrant Professionals Fellowship

African Bridge Network (ABN) is excited to begin recruitment for the 2025 Cohort of the Immigrant Professionals Fellowship. The Fellowship is a training and work-placement program targeting foreign-trained professionals for the healthcare and research fields. The program will target skilled immigrants residing in the Greater Boston and Metro North areas.

This program is a direct effort to address the racial and economic barriers that skilled immigrants face in the US labor market. The Fellowship seeks to place a number of talented, diverse, and multilingual immigrant professionals from different regions of the world in a paid Fellowship in a fast-paced work environment. Participants will gain the needed work experience to access jobs in their industry and advance their careers following the Fellowship. Please be aware that participation in the Fellowship does not guarantee full-time employment.

The Fellowship Tracks includes:

Research Administration Track
