This project is part funded by the EU Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund. Making management of migration flows more efficient across the European Union.
My Coventry is a newly awarded project as of January 2021 and St Francis Employability is a key partner within it. The aim of the project is to work with non-EU nationals to address local, social and economic inequalities that hinder integration within the UK.
At St Francis Employability we will be focusing on supporting participants through accredited courses aimed at improving their knowledge of employment in the UK, helping them to gain or improve job specific skills and also to help promote integration within the UK and local community. The activities we will be undertaking through the My Coventry project are explored below.
