Developing skills and building careers: Hayat Ahmed
Published by Clarion Futures, September 2018
Hayat is a Clarion Housing resident originally from Somalia and a single mother to seven young children. In Somali culture it is typical for women not to work, and combined with a language barrier and lack of knowledge about how to enter the job market, Hayat had never worked in the UK.
This case study explains how Clarion Futures has supported Hayat into finding a training course and a new job.
