How employers can harness the potential of refugee candidates

While many UK employers will be aware of the social value associated with supporting refugees, not all will be aware of how best to harness the talent and experience that refugees can bring to the workplace. In this podcast, host Lauren Roberts is joined by Jessica Ridgewell, Head of Corporate Partnerships, Breaking Barriers, who shares her experience of helping major UK businesses to access, integrate and benefit from refugee talent. Topics include:

  • Recognising the obstacles faced by refugee candidates
  • The role of the private sector in supporting refugees into employment
  • Best practice for embedding refugee candidates into the workforce
  • How modern tools and trends can be applied to support and upskill refugees
  • How employers can advocate internally for policies which support refugee clients
