Rayne Fellowships
Following discussions with the Rayne Foundation, Employability Forum is delighted to announce a new initiative which will enable refugees to make full use of their skills and experience, through awards of Rayne Fellowships.
A 2 day course was run in June 2007 by consultants from Phoenix for a group of 20 refugees from different parts of the UK.
Faduma and Dan will be the pioneers of the first Rayne Fellowships and will have opportunities to secure training and work experience in different organisations. Faduma would like to secure an internship in the House of Commons and has started a Foundation course in counselling children. Dan wants to gain experience of community radio and broadcasting so that he can develop his ideas for starting a radio station in the East Midlands.
The Rayne Foundation will be working in partnership with other organisations and agencies to expand the Fellowship programme for refugees in 2008.
