Refugee Education and Training Advisory Service Leeds
...rebuilding lives, breaking down barriers
Our aims
We believe that every refugee and asylum seeker can reach their potential here in the UK. We are passionate about seeing this happen. We work closely with refugees and asylum seekers as well as the wider community in West Yorkshire to make this a reality.
We work to integrate refugees and asylum seekers by assisting with access to education, requalification, training and employment. But there is so much more to our hopes and dreams... we strive to build confidence and hope in our clients and empower them to build a safe home in West Yorkshire.
