Developed with The Launchpad Collective

Our partners The Launchpad Collective connect employers with refugee talent. Steered by refugees, for refugees, working side-by-side with both job seekers and employers so that roles are filled and refugees are empowered to contribute positively to society.

The Launchpad Collective also challenges the systems and inequalities that lead to this talent being obstructed and overlooked. At this time of economic uncertainty, with job vacancies at an all-time high, they want employers to be able to access the skills and experience of people with refugee backgrounds.

In July 2022 we ran a virtual event together to examine how to unlock refugee talent to access skilled people looking for work.

Attendees learned more about the current refugee landscape and heard from a number of individuals with refugee backgrounds as well as employers who have experience of both hiring and working with people with refugee backgrounds.

Following the event we invited employers to test a new employer toolkit aimed at helping break down the barriers to hiring a refugee. The toolkit was developed with Kineo and funded by the City & Guilds Foundation.
