From 2004 to 2009, we were the primary sponsor of the employment program at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC). The ASRC offers food, shelter, legal advice, employment assistance and medical help to those seeking asylum. As asylum seekers are not eligible for Government funding, the ASRC is primarily staffed with volunteers.
In 2008, we launched the employment assistance program, a pilot program providing customised case management for 20 asylum seekers and refugees. It included skills training, a structured mentoring component and candidate advocacy and support. The program was successful in training and placing a majority of participants in sustainable employment.
