RIJ Starbucks & Working in the UK Courses - Referrals Open!
Bahar Nassiri
Good Afternoon Everyone!
I hope you’re all having a great week! I’m getting in touch with some updates on the Refugees Into Jobs Service
Open for IAG Referrals!
- We are currently open to referrals for our Information, Advice and Guidance service which includes support from RC employment advisors and online courses.
- To refer someone you are working with for general employment support please complete the internal referral form and send it back to r...@refugeecouncil.org.uk along with photos of the front and back of client’s BRP card (or their Inform number if it is already saved on inform).
Working in the UK course with PWC in August:
- Our next 6-week advanced level employability course is starting on August the 16th . It runs every Friday from 10am-12pm and it is co-delivered by RC employment advisors and volunteers from the accounting firm PWC .
- Referrals: The course is aimed at those with professional backgrounds or qualifications although the eligibility is mainly the same as the criteria listed below, it is a fast paced course so we will assess whether client’s English level is appropriate for the course during a screening call. Otherwise please follow the same referral process of sending the completed form to r...@refugeecouncil.org.uk .
- Once clients have completed the course they will receive ongoing support from an employment advisor if wanted.
Starbucks Course in August – Accepting Referrals (Please read info on Locations):
- Our next Starbucks employability course will start on the 12th of August.

(Please not that referrals are accepted on a rolling basis and may close before this date so it is best to send earlier if possible)

RIJ Service Overview Leaflet:
- I have attached a RIJ Service overview leaflet which can be printed and shared with clients – it details the different courses and includes the referral process for Building Bridges which is separate to the rest of RIJ – feel free to share this with clients.
- (Please note we are not accepting referrals for IKEA programmes at the moment).
Feel free to share this information with your clients and colleagues that I may have missed! If you have any questions please contact r...@refugeecouncil.org.uk , although due to annual leave, replies will be slower from the RIJ email in the next week so if you have any urgent enquiries this week please direct them to Tina.P...@refugeecouncil.org.uk (Starbucks related) or Bahar....@refugeecouncil.org.uk (IAG / Working in the UK related).
Best wishes and have a lovely evening!
