Work Support for Refugees

Tender description

Increase the integration of people from refugee backgrounds into their local community by helping them to discover local facilities, events and groups. The programme will support economic integration by supporting people to improve their working English, understand the ‘British work culture’ whilst also addressing systemic barriers to employment/self-employment. Though wanting to find work that fits their existing skills, the majority of those in employment are working in manual or unskilled work. Work with your regulatory or industry body to identify and address the blockers for refugees seeking to translate their qualifications. NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre) This provides an official source of information on international education and training systems and wide-ranging international qualifications and skills attained from outside the UK. https://www.naric.org.uk/naric/ In particular, the project aims to demonstrate the critical importance of ‘pre-employment’ support in helping refugees move towards job readiness and mainstream employment programmes and achieve some of the most fundamental job outcomes, such as attending a job interview or securing work.
