CASE STUDY: MAXIMPACT & SLC’S Online Language Training Helps Syrian Refugees Build New Lives in the UK

English for Employability

We work in partnership with Maximpact to develop the English of refugees with little or no English so they can integrate into local communities and enter the workforce. We:

Give at-cost tailored online lessons to closed groups of refugees, from absolute beginner to elementary to intermediate level
Develop bespoke English language curricula – including essential literacy, English for life skills, English for the workplace, CV writing and interview skills
Develop bespoke assessment services – delivered pre, during and post-course

Maximpact provide excellent pathways to work, including job applications and interviews with local employers.

As a result, graduates from the programme are now successfully working in hospitality, retail and care.

"Most of the things I love about my teacher, the way the lesson is explained makes us understand the lesson in more than one way and it also makes us feel like we are all one family. I really like this because it is comfortable because I live far away from the college as I have young children and this class allows me to learn the English language and I am happy with that."

"We have been very satisfied with the exceptional service provided by SLC, the flexibility of the tutors to deal with the unpredictable, whilst maintaining the high standards which SLC has built an outstanding reputation on delivering. Maximpact looks forward to further ongoing collaborations with SLC."
