This study of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK and their education, training, and employment is based on the academic and policy literature and empirical data from five major studies. It sets out the political context to seeking asylum in the UK and explores current policy and practice regarding education, training, and employment of new migrants over the age of sixteen and how policy affects their access to appropriate services. The book draws on extensive empirical research to explore the education and training needs and aspirations of new migrants, their skills, qualifications, and work experiences and how these relate to education, training, and employment opportunities currently on offer in the UK. The perspectives of training providers and employers on working with new migrants are also examined. The authors conclude that the government's laissez faire approach needs to be replaced with well-targeted and resourced integration programs, and present a model for developing an effective program. With its combination of policy and literature analysis, up-to-the-minute academic research, and clearly presented policy recommendations, this book will be invaluable to policymakers, academics, and service providers.
