Language Is the Gateway to Economic Mobility

Language Is the Gateway to Economic Mobility

Creating Bridges. Removing Barriers.

We transform English instruction into workforce infrastructure through Career-Aligned ESL with direct pathways into healthcare, CDL, and skilled trades.

Through employer partnerships and hands-on training, we remove language barriers and connect adults to sustainable careers.

Our Mission

At Cross Over Community Development (COCD) our mission is to function as a resource center for immigrants and refugees. We are committed to advocating, educating, and facilitating connections to help immigrant and refugee families achieve and maintain self-sufficiency and successfully integrate and participate in their new communities. 

We also aim to raise public awareness about immigrants and refugees to increase their visibility and to change public attitudes for the better.

Our unique Career Bridges program is at the forefront of our efforts to bridge the gap between the broader community and local immigrants and refugees. Learn more about how graduates of the program achieve their career goals after completing our coursework scaffolded with targeted ESL, employer-validated trainings, and certifications.
