Aim
Career School is a support program for refugees, asylum seekers and disadvantaged migrant learners to improve their employment opportunities
Career School is a project Dialogue Society has launched as a career support program for refugees, asylum seekers and disadvantaged migrant learners. Career School offers a solution to improve their abilities and broaden their horizons to help them find employment opportunities commensurate with their skills. We aim to provide a long-term view to disadvantaged people to identify what is required for their journey towards entry into the world of work, mould their learning pathway and provide the necessary training for their careers.
We provide one-to-one mentoring, additional group support and many more services as part of the Career School programme.
Due to multiple disadvantages such as being new in the country, having a language barrier and experiencing economic inactivity, disadvantaged migrant learners, refugees and asylum seekers have low aspirations, low self-confidence, and self-esteem and thus are at risk of being unemployed for a long time. We aspire to inspire aspiration in underprivileged people and provide practical support, advice, tips and skills. We aim to ensure that migrant people receive the proper support to remove the barriers preventing them from fully participating in society.
Overall, all the programme participants will be assigned to a mentor who has gone through the same processes and shared experiences with them to relate, integrate and engage more. Career School programme staff will organise four virtual group meetings to evaluate the training and give professional advice and support. The Career School programme will cover various topics, such as safeguarding for professionals, technology integration, workplace etiquette, civic engagement and many more.
