All work placements involve pre-placement preparation and continuous support is provided throughout. Support and training is also provided to employers on issues related to refugees entering the UK workplace.

Work placements are aimed at refugees with:
 |
Professional backgrounds or high level qualifications |
 |
Very good communication skills (approximately Upper-Intermediate to Advanced level English) |
 |
The ability to demonstrate that the lack of UK work experience is the main barrier to their access to employment in the UK |
