Empowering Refugees Through Employment, Language and Integration
From 2023 to 2025, Palladium delivered the Home Office’s Refugee Employability Programme (REP) across Southeast England. This person-centred initiative supported over 1,250 refugees, helping them navigate the complex challenges of resettlement through a unique blend of employment coaching, targeted English language support, and integration services. The impact was immediate – and lasting.
Key Outcomes
- 348 job starts across sectors such as hospitality, logistics, and construction
- 641 refugees accessed English language support, with a 90% completion rate
- 290 urgent housing cases resolved – dropping from 291 to just 1
- 83% of participants saw measurable improvement in life domains such as health, housing, and community engagement
- 125 participants earned a qualification; 40 in hospitality
- 281 received personalised interview preparation via Palladium’s AI Interview Coach
- Delivered from 37+ community locations, in partnership with councils and charities
- Over 50% of REP staff had lived experience of forced migration
This success was grounded in empathy, integration, and collaboration. Co-locating with local councils and housing teams meant case managers could intervene early, especially when housing, mental health, or confidence were barriers to employment.
Above all, REP proved that with the right support, refugees don’t just rebuild they thrive.
