Helping refugees into sustainable employment
2017-07-19 09:00 - 12:30 | Human Rights Action Centre, 25 New Inn Yard, EC2A 3EA, United Kingdom
Launch event for the RISE employment service for refugees
Refugees and asylum seekers face multiple barriers to employment. These include language, poor wellbeing due to traumatic experiences, and a lack of recognition of their qualifications by UK employers. This means that unemployment in refugee communities is above 50%, compared to 6% for the UK national average. Higher refugee employment could bring considerable benefits to London’s economy, employers and communities.
RISE – Renaisi’s new employment service for refugees in London, aims to do something about this. To celebrate its launch, we are bringing together local authorities, third sector providers and employers from across the capital, to build new networks that will strengthen employment support for London’s refugees.

Moving on Up - Phase One Learning Report Launch
2017-07-18 18:00 - 20:00 | Hamilton House, Mabledon Place, WC1H 9BD, United Kingdom
More than two thirds of UK employers are concerned that they cannot recruit skilled staff and yet one in eight black graduates in the UK cannot find a job.
You are invited to the launch of an evaluation of Moving on Up, a two-year initiative aiming to increase employment rates for young black men in London.
The partners in the initiative, Trust for London, City Bridge Trust and the Black Training and Enterprise Group, together with The Social Innovation Partnership, who undertook the evaluation, will be sharing what has been learned about how to tackle the persistently higher than average unemployment rate for young black men in London.
We hope you can join us for an evening of shared learning, networking and light refreshments.
