With over 133,000 refugees resettled in the UK since 2010, many face significant barriers to employment and mental health support. Career Advancement Programmes not only equip refugees with essential skills but also foster a supportive environment that challenges stigma. According to the Refugee Council, 61% of refugees experience mental health challenges, yet only 24% access adequate support. These programmes bridge this gap by integrating mental health awareness into vocational training, creating a dual impact on employability and well-being.
