STEP information videos on employment for refugees (360G-cabinetoffice-G2-GA-202109475129-21-22)

To help refugees into employment more quickly, supporting earlier self-sufficiency in the UK. These information videos will benefit refugees looking for employment in the UK because they will give up-to-date, key messages on the domestic labour market. These videos will be based on a refugee employment handbook developed by the Specialised Training and Employment Programme (STEP), and will improve the reach of this guidance because video format is more accessible to refugees who are pre-literate in English. This project helps us to meet a commitment in the New Plan for Immigration (NPI) to enhance our support to refugees so they become self-sufficient more quickly. It also supports our commitment in the Home Office Outcome Delivery Plan to help protected individuals integrate into the country and secure employment. The intention is to provide a QR code to refugees during pre-departure Cultural Orientation Training so they can access these videos independently to start preparations for entering the UK workforce. This demonstrates a response to a key recommendation in the most recent Independent Chief Inspectors report to use pre-departure time more effectively to support integration.
