With over 133,000 refugees granted protection in the UK in 2022, many face barriers to employment, which exacerbates mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. CAPs provide tailored training, mentorship, and job placement services, empowering refugees to integrate into the workforce and improve their mental well-being. According to the Refugee Council, 72% of refugees experience mental health challenges due to unemployment, highlighting the urgent need for such initiatives.
