Coventry Refugee Job Club
Coventry Refugee Job Clubs aims to get refugees in Coventry ready for the workplace through weekly in house Training and Volunteering opportunities.
Unemployed refugees face far more challenges than others in the process of getting a job, some of which are:
Skills gap
Cultural challenges
Language barriers
Limited education and work experience
Societal stigmas
Lack of professional networks
We see weekly volunteering (1-3 hours a week) as the best opportunity to get refugees into the workplace, not just to gain the skills they need but also to lean the Work Culture, gain experience, get the needed network and also break any stigma that might exist about refugees
