Getting work can make a life-changing difference to refugees and migrants.
Employment offers more than just financial stability—it can provide dignity, purpose, and a sense of belonging. A job helps refugees and migrants rebuild their lives and integrate into new communities. It boosts confidence and provides opportunities to improve English and learn new skills.
For many, work brings routine, social connection, and hope for a better future. It enables individuals to support their families, both in the UK and abroad, and for many, to move forward from the trauma and disruption they’ve experienced.
SLC courses are designed to give refugees and migrants both the language skills and the confidence to get a job that matches their skills, experience and ambition.
We start with the learners. We carry out needs analysis and level assessment, so we understand where learners are currently at and where they want to go. This allows us to map the journey they need to go on and design a curriculum that meets their needs.
Once the course starts, there is inbuilt flexibility to meet new needs as they emerge and to evolve the course to meet specific objectives.
For lower-level learners, courses will need focus on core language – communication, vocabulary, grammar, function, skills – sometimes starting with the very basics. This allows learners to build a foundation in English from which they can develop more employability-specific language skills.
For higher-level learners at Entry Level 3 and above, courses target specific areas of need. These may range from job applications to interview preparation to CV building to digital skills, such as working with software suites and using LinkedIn. Courses may also focus on developing workplace communication skills, navigating fast speech, idioms and accents.
SLC courses take place online. There are very good reasons for this:
Courses are designed to meet the many budgetary constraints refugee support organisation face. If the value wasn’t there, there’s no way we would have delivered so many courses to our clients across the UK since 2018.
Please get in touch to discuss how we can support your learners. We would love to hear from you.
