ICE Mutual Agreement Between Government and Employers

Program Description

The Ice Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers program (IMAGE) is a joint government and private sector initiative designed to build cooperative relationships that strengthen hiring practices and encourage employer compliance to ensure a lawful workforce. Homeland Security recognizes that while most employers want to comply with our nation’s immigration laws, their hiring policies and procedures may not be sufficient to ensure a lawful workforce.

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees will learn how IMAGE can benefit their company through brand protection, workforce integrity, avoiding disruption by Homeland Security, avoiding fines, and receive training on properly completing I-9s.
• Attendees will be informed on issues employers need to be aware of such as the use
• Of counterfeit documents, increased use of identity theft schemes, complicated laws and regulations, and multiple regulatory responsibilities.
