The Secretary of State shall establish overseas refugee training programs to provide English as a second language and work orientation training for refugees who have been approved for admission to the United States before their departure for the United States. In designing and implementing the programs referred to in subsection (a), the Secretary shall consult with or use— nongovernmental or international organizations with direct ties to the United States refugee resettlement program; and nongovernmental or international organizations with appropriate expertise in developing curriculum and teaching English as a second language.
The Secretary shall ensure that such training programs occur within applicable processing times and do not unduly delay the departure for the United States of refugees who have been approved for admission to the United States. Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall ensure that such training programs are fully and continually operational in at least 3 refugee processing regions. Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall notify the appropriate congressional committees that such training programs are fully and consistently operational in 5 refugee processing regions.
Not later than 2 years after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a study on the implementation of this section, including an assessment of the quality of English as a second language curriculum and instruction, the benefits of the work orientation and English as a second language training program to refugees, and recommendations on whether such programs should be continued, broadened, or modified, and shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the findings of such study.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to require that a refugee participate in such a training program as a precondition for the admission to the United States of such refugee.
