Project Esperanza Empolyability Hub (Project Esperanza)

The overreaching goal of our Employability Support Service is to provide targeted support for migrants with families who are unemployed, have limited access to employment and employability resources and experiencing in-work poverty to enhance their employability; gain skills and confidence to secure long term employment;  lessen the impacts of poverty and foster integration into the workforce. We aim to remove barriers to education or employment and are focused on supporting people who arrive on the Sponsorship programme (COS), other migrants that fall within NRPF and New Scots. 

Our beneficiares are offered both one-to-one and group support to enable steps to employment.

Our comprehensive programme is designed to guide individuals through the refinerment of essential competencies. Parents will be offered a range of services including assessments, plans,  crafting CV and cover letters, volunteering and mentoring opportunities, mastering interviev techniques, sharpening IT skills, workshops and access to training opportunities, work experience placements, skills development opportunities, breaking language barriers through language support and support to attend college.
