English is the 'language of opportunity.' That's a line from Aurora's 10-year Immigrant Integration Plan. Before creating this plan, the city conducted focus groups in 2019 with community members and found the two top priorities for immigrants and refugees were learning English and finding employment.Research shows that immigrants who are proficient in English have higher paying jobs.
