This meets, in part, the Home Office commitment in the Integrated Communities Action Plan to supporting the development of interventions to help refugees overcome the barriers they can encounter when seeking employment in the UK, including by continuing to work with the Refugee Employment Network as it develops a co-ordinated approach across the refugee employment sector to support refugees on employability and finding work.
