We are Breaking Barriers: a UK charity that helps refugees to rebuild their lives through education, training and employment. At our weekly advice centres, clients meet with Employment and Integration Advisers who work with them on developing CVs, finding job vacancies, completing application forms, and interview preparation; as well as providing bespoke support tailored to each client’s needs. Through our network of business contacts, we connect people with jobs, training and internships that match their experience. We work with all levels of the labour market, from law firms to catering companies to construction. Are you a refugee? Let us help. There are no pre-conditions to working with us – visit https://breaking-barriers.co.uk/refugee-support/ to book an initial appointment Are you a business? Our business and corporate partners recognise the benefits of working with refugees: reduced recruitment costs, remarkably high retention rates, and contribution to corporate responsibility to name just a few. If you’re a business that wants to offer jobs, training or work placements to refugees, or just to find out more about us, visit https://breaking-barriers.co.uk/partnerships/corporates/ http://www.breaking-barriers.co.uk/ We believe that everyone is entitled to the same opportunities, regardless of where they come from. Refugees flee to the UK in fear; they flee from persecution; they flee from unimaginable suffering; they flee from war. By offering refugees the same opportunities as everyone else, we can empower them to rebuild their lives.
