Project details

What we need
  • Review of up to 20 pages of copy for grammar, style, tone, and consistency
  • Advice on how to write effective copy going forward
Additional details

Hello! We are looking for someone to review a guide that we have created for immigrants to make sure that the materials are succinct and accessible for a target audience that may have varying levels of English language acquisition.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a copy of our guide and a list of goals, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have additional information that we are hoping to incorporate, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $1,792 , allowing us to work with a graphic designer to make a visually appealing guide that presents this information in an engaging way

Our healthcare guide is meant to be a free resource for skilled immigrants in the Boston area to access timelines and costs for programs that may allow them to return or enter the healthcare field. This a major industry with great growth potential, however getting in touch with programs for more info or navigating their sites can be difficult for this population due to issues in accessibility to this population
