Migration Team Intensive Employment Support Programme

Coventry boasts a rich history of embracing migrants, who have not only brought unique cultural perspectives but also a wealth of skills and knowledge that have greatly contributed to the city's economic vitality and advancement. Employers recognise the value of the diverse talents and global perspectives that migrants offer, which often result in new business opportunities and markets. The exchange of insights and connections to international networks provided by migrants, including refugees, has frequently facilitated business expansion, fostering new partnerships and client relationships.

Their presence has proven invaluable in addressing labour shortages and enhancing organisational productivity. Notably, migrants, including refugees, often excel in roles beyond their initial job descriptions, bringing higher levels of skill and expertise to the workplace.

The Migration Team at Coventry City Council has over a decade of expertise in facilitating refugee employment, aiding in their professional restart and societal establishment within the city. The team work closely with employers to offer tailored guidance and support to facilitate refugees into the workforce, identify the right candidates, and fully support them, ensuring a mutually beneficial transition for both employees and employers.
