I contacted them I think two or three years back. never called for any one to one meeting but they do offer some free courses so if some one is alone and no kids then they can take advantage of free training like social worker or pharmacy tech courses

A Welcome Back Center is an international healthcare workers assistance center. It serves as an information and resource center for people who have received their formal education and training in a health field outside of the U.S., who live in the center’s respective state/area, and who would like to enter the healthcare sector in the U.S.

Welcome Back Centers provide orientation, counseling, and support to foreign-trained health workers. They assist participants in developing a career pathway plan that builds on their education, experience, and skills. In addition to receiving support in obtaining appropriate professional credentials and licenses for their profession, participants are also assisted in exploring relevant educational programs, job and volunteer opportunities, and alternative career options.

All foreign-trained health professionals currently living in a center’s respective state or geographic area are eligible for the program. Persons living outside the U.S. are not eligible for the program.
