The Training and Employment Section of the Refugee Council provides specialist language, basic skills and work-related training for asylum seekers, refugees and people from ethnic minorities. It also offers impartial careers advice and guidance as well as vocational advice including work placement opportunities and a mentoring scheme.

In response to the European policy of refugee and asylum seeker integration, along with the UK government's policy on the dispersal of asylum seekers, the Refugee Council has recognised the importance of addressing the language needs of refugees and asylum seekers in the regions outside London.

As part of the ASSET UK programme, the Training and Employment section of the Refugee Council is recruiting qualified volunteer ESOL tutors to teach in community-based ESOL classes, emergency accommodation centres, on a 1-1 basis and to provide language support to students already enrolled on college or other ESOL courses. We are also providing the tutors with a 1-day teacher-training workshop. This workshop is designed to raise awareness and provide information on teaching English language to refugees and asylum seekers. The aim is that the tutors are able to pass on the skills and knowledge they gain at our training workshop to directly benefit learners themselves. This is so the learners are then equipped with the language skills they need in order to live as independently and productively as possible while waiting to hear on a decision on their asylum application.
