<DIV><FONT size=2>We address the issues through referrals.
Generally we have a discussion with the student about potential barriers,
then refer them to org's such as:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Mass Coalition for Refugee Advocacy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Cambodian Mutual Assisstance in Lowell.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Spanish American Center in Fitchburg.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Career Center of Central Massachusetts -resumes, jobs and
training.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Herbert Lipton Center or their insurance carrier 800
number.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Educational Opportunity Council for higher ed/job training
referrals. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Usually we sit and discuss how they will contact the
organization, go through scripts and give encouragement.</FONT></DIV>
