The Role of Himilo in Empowering Individuals Towards Professional Careers

At ACH, we believe that providing shelter without a path to independence merely ‘warehouses’ refugees. Economic independence and career progression are vital for refugees and migrants striving for independence. That’s why training has always been central to our mission. Founded 10 years ago, Himilo has developed innovative integration and training interventions that help refugees and migrants achieve their full career and entrepreneurial ambitions in the UK through our entrepreneurship and careers teams.

Anna’s Work Experience in ACH's Marketing Team

When my family and I came to England, ACH was very helpful and supportive and I really wanted to know how it works from the inside of the company. I was very interested in understanding the inner workings from the perspective of an employee, not as a customer. I was particularly interested in event management, marketing, promotion and advertising.
