- Meet with local employers
- Speak to an employment adviser that can offer career advice
- Learn about education courses on offer locally, including English classes
- Understand how to have professional qualifications registered in the UK

The event will include a showcase of organisations providing information and advice and presenting their offers of support for refugees and their hosts. Organisations with representatives attending will include the Department of Work and Pensions, Hertfordshire County Council and the NHS. Advice provided will cover areas such as employment, education and local resources available to refugees from Ukraine, aiming to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ of information and contacts to help displaced individuals integrate into the local community.
