GEM partners with existing organizations, NGOs, and universities to provide academic coaching, internship and on-the-job training, individualized coaching, and career counseling. . .

Learners engage in projects and earn credit by successfully completing them and proving their mastery in predetermined competencies or tasks. . . The initiative’s online, project-based degree model and the robust in-person resources enable refugee students, who often face uncertain futures, to complete their studies at a self-directed pace. Through GEM, refugee students strengthen their skills for the global job market, as SNHU degrees are fully accredited and internationally recognized.”(from site)
