UTAH IMMIGRATION ASSISTANCE CENTER Helping businesses and individuals navigate foreign labor programs
Formed in 2021, Go Utah’s Immigration Assistance Center is a one-stop resource for individuals and businesses seeking immigration guidance and information on Utah’s foreign labor rules and regulations. A decade of unprecedented growth in the state has led to tremendous opportunities for small business owners to expand, creating a need for talent and skills not always available locally. This can often lead businesses to search abroad for staff members with specific skills. “Hiring foreign-based workers is not a simple process, and businesses inevitably find themselves navigating the process of getting qualified workers into the United States,” said Ryan Starks, Go Utah’s managing director of Business Services. The center coordinates with several state, federal and nonprofit entities, including Catholic Community Services, Immigrant Legal Services, Suazo Business Center, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and others.
