Intech Centre — Mon, 28 Jul 2025 13:05:15 +0000

We are proud to announce the successful completion of our DWP-funded ESOL with Employability Programme, supporting Islington Jobcentre claimants to improve their English, digital, and job readiness skills.

Over the course of seven months, Intech Centre worked closely with Barnsbury, Finsbury Park, and Caledonian Road Jobcentres, receiving referrals for 280 claimants. Our mission was to provide practical and tailored support to 100 eligible claimants, and we are pleased to have delivered this with exceptional outcomes.

Key Achievements:

280 claimants referred
240 attended appointments at our centre
186 claimants received full Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) and completed diagnostic assessments
100 learners enrolled onto the programme
Delivered in 13 small-group cohorts over 7 months, with an average group size of 8
96% completion rate – only a few left due to childbirth or moving outside of London
Over 60% of learners were refugees, and our support was tailored to meet their individual needs

What Did Learners Gain?

This was more than an English course. Participants received practical skills and personalised support that helped them become more confident, employable, and digitally capable:

AI in Everyday Life: Learned to use AI tools to support job applications and daily digital tasks
1-to-1 Career Support: Every learner was supported by a dedicated Careers Adviser throughout their journey
