Our Community Projects
Job Prep Support for Migrant Communities
Many newcomers to our communities are allowed to work. These include those who received positive decisions on their asylum claims or young immigrant adults, who would benefit from advice on the types of educational and professional training available. Many want to professionally integrate and contribute to the local economy.
The statistics on migrants’ labour market integration in the UK point to the need for job prep support that is targeted to work with immigrant communities.
We offer a weekly job prep support session that individuals can pre-book in advance. We host experienced community workers who can offer individualised attention to those looking to enter the labour market. Every applicant requires a bespoke approach, since each person’s education, technical skills and English abilities will differ.
