What We Do
Employability
About this service
Each week, our Employment and Education Advisor supports around 25 individuals on their journey towards better employment. For some, that means finding a first job in the UK, perhaps as a warehouse operative or cleaner. For others, it may involve applying for university places via UCAS or getting overseas qualifications recognised so an individual can continue their career in the UK. Advocacy is a large part of our employability support, with our advisor helping to ensure employers are treating and paying their staff fairly, and helping service users handle any disputes with their employers.
As of the last financial year, employability has been the most sought-after type of advice on offer at BSRC, reflecting the dynamism and drive of the local Somali community.
