Refugees are up to six times more likely to be unemployed than non-refugees. That’s a huge waste of untapped potential. Like many disadvantaged groups, refugees starting up in business face a number of barriers.
Refugee community organisations do not have the necessary skills to provide basic business advice and mainstream advisers are not sufficiently aware of the barriers and how to offer appropriate support.
Refugees into business was set up to address some of these problems.
Led by the Refugee Council, the Refugee Enterprise Partnership was formed with a number of partner agencies to develop and implement a proposal to assist refugees to set up or sustain their own businesses.
