Description

We are seeking Expressions of Interest from a diverse range of organisations and institutions to potentially partner with to deliver informal English Language support (including interpreters) & learning and formal ESOL training and accreditation across England on what will be the Refugee Employability Programme (REP) being commissioned by The Home Office.

The new programme will be delivered in each of the 9 Strategic Migration Partnership areas and we are particularly interested in those organisations that understand current refugee programmes and are experienced at attracting refugees to their informal and formal programmes and supporting their progression towards English-speaking independence and preparation for work.

The Home Office is establishing this service to support refugees entering the UK by legal and safe routes with the aim of moving towards and into sustainable employment. English Language skills will be critical in forming a part of this journey which will also include Integration into statutory and community services to aid their settlement and progression support through Employability activities and employer introductions.
