Empowering Futures at the Glasgow Refugee Job Fair!๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

I had the incredible opportunity to represent CodeYourFuture at the Refugee Job Fair held at glasgowcitycouncil undefined

With a fantastic turnout, it was inspiring to see so many individuals eager to connect with employers and explore new career opportunities.

CodeYourFuture, we were thrilled to share how we support peopleโ€”especially refugees, Asylum seekers, women over 49 and those from disadvantaged background to kickstart a career in tech.

For those without prior tech knowledge, our "Intro to Digital" course provides a beginner-friendly pathway into the world of tech. And beyond training, we offer mentorship, community support, and job facilitation to help our graduates land their first tech roles.

A huge THANK YOU to the event organizers and my amazing team for the incredible supportโ€”we couldn't have done it without you! REN Refugee Employment Network, Breaking Barriers, Scottish Refugee Council, Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), Bridges Programmes, Skills Development Scotland and everyone else.

Looking forward to seeing the impact of events like these in bridging opportunities and changing lives!

I must also say that it was lovely to see some of our CofeYourfuture graduates who are already working in tech come around to support Hussein A., Haroun Alarabi and Esraa Abd Alrahman AliDinar ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Thanks to Euan McLeod for your support and a special shout out to Emeka Ebeniro for coming through to support and made it a duty to assist with capturing the moment.
