Doing Business in Utah
Utah APEX Accelerator
Utah Immigration Assistance Center
This team works as a resource to help individuals and businesses recruit and retain international workers. The center coordinates with state and federal government partners to facilitate the successful use of employment visa programs and coordinates with other entities involved in global immigration efforts.
One of the center’s initiatives is the state’s New Americans Task Force. The task force is a statewide effort to develop a comprehensive strategy that maximizes economic opportunities, social inclusion, and civic potential for New Americans while reinforcing an environment of belonging in Utah.
