Employability and Adult Learning
Our Employability and Adult Education project supports, empowers, and aims to build the confidence of Muslim and BME women in Scotland through offering one to one support, workshops and access to community courses.
Our project provides tailored support in helping our clients work towards their employability ambitions in searching for work, learning, or volunteering opportunities.
We help our clients by offering them a holistic and culturally sensitive space where they can discuss their employability goals with confidence. We do this in the following ways
- support in identifying skills and interests
- building CV and completing applications
- help with looking for jobs, volunteering and learning opportunities
- preparing for interviews and much more!
- partnership working with external agencies to offer community courses that aim to capacity build and upskill our clients.

We are delighted to be part of GEMS (Glasgow Ethnic Minority Support) led by the Bridges Programme. GEMS has received funding through Glasgow City Council on behalf of Glasgow Local Employability Partnership (LEP).
We are working with a consortium of six fellow community-based organisations – Bridges Programmes, Glasgow Clyde College, Community Renewal Trust, Cranhill Development Trust, Glasgow's Empowering Communities Consortium (GECCO) and Govan Community Development Trust (part of Govanhill Housing Association) – to support Glasgow’s Ethnic Minority Communities in seeking employability. Together we are responsible for delivering employability services for ethnic minority people in Glasgow from April 2024 to March 2026.
