5 July 2022. This discussion is back by popular demand! Earlier this year, Portsmouth-based businessman and author Peter Fincham introduced UK work culture to our first group of migrant job applicants.

23 May 2022. Our series of job preparation support for those newly arrived in Portsmouth start with a session on CV writing. Many in our class are refugees and asylum seekers who have or will soon have the permission to work. They look forward to being part of our local economy, of bringing their skills and contributing to the social fabric of our community. They want to work towards having their skills recognised in the UK. This starts with CVs.
The training on job interviews will mark the conclusion of our first run of job preparation support for the new migrants of Portsmouth. This is our first cohort of skilled migrants taken through our support series. We are proud of our participants for trying. We will be doing this again – for the second cohort of participants, starting in May.
Many newcomers to our communities are allowed to work, and they would benefit from advice to help them find employment and integrate into the economic and social fabric of Portsmouth.
