Greetings from the Migrant Careers Support Trust!
The last few months have been challenging and testing for everyone, including migrants.
We are working hard behind the scenes to conduct workshops and webinars with experts so that as a community we are able to emerge stronger from the global pandemic.
We have an upcoming webinar, Work Talk, which would cover topics like preparing for a job interview, writing a CV, building up skills and confidence to strike the right conversations. Please find the details of the webinar below.
In this newsletter, you will find informative articles by some of the experts with whom we will soon be organising workshops.
Keep in touch with our social media channels, for regular updates, announcements, and job postings.
Regards,
Garry Gupta,
