Skillsmatch & Employability programmes

We see the extraordinary abilities, resilience and determination people seeking asylum bring to the UK.

But we also see the frustration – talented individuals banned from working, held back by a system that feels endless.

Through SkillsMatch, we’re turning that waiting time into something powerful and help individuals with:

• Volunteering opportunities
  Meaningful roles help people polish their social and language skills, grow their confidence, and build vital networks, all while staying active and engaged during uncertain times.

• Employability programmes (work placements)
  From crafting standout CV’s to mastering interviews, accessing CPD-recognised courses and training, our tailored programmes give people the tools to hit the ground running when the door to employment finally opens. 

We have some fantastic SkillsMatch volunteers who will help you with finding the opportunity for you.
