Reply To: Work experience opportunities available through the job centre do not cater to people who have previously worked in highly paid and/or highly skilled roles in their country of origin. Are there other schemes where I can find work experience and jobs?

Hi Nissrin Thanks for the question and you've received some great advice in the posts above that I cannot add much more to. However, I know there are certain companies, ours included, that are actively working to create work experience opportunities specifically for refugees with the aim to provide learning opportunities for all levels of experience. Unfortunately, we cannot provide experience for what you're looking for in journalism but there may be other companies out there that can. I would connect with the Breaking Barriers team to see what opportunities there might be, as well as following some of the great advice already given above. Good luck!
