TechForAll Foundation provides free, practical digital skills training to migrants, asylum seekers and refugees in London. We build IT confidence, improve employability and open pathways into technology careers , at no cost to participants.
Finding work in a new country is hard. Doing so without digital skills is even harder. Our London programme meets participants where they are , meeting participants where they are, whether they have never used a computer or need help translating existing skills into a UK employment context.
We provide structured, jargon-free training alongside practical employability coaching: from writing a CV using a word processor to applying for jobs online, preparing for video interviews, and navigating government digital services.
All sessions are delivered in an inclusive, supportive environment. No prior experience is required. Interpretation support can be arranged where needed.
Our modular curriculum is designed to build real, usable skills, not just basic awareness. Each module is practical, employer-relevant, and delivered at a pace that suits the learner.
Using a computer, mouse, keyboard, email, web browsers, file management, and staying safe online.
Creating and formatting a CV in Word, writing cover letters, using job search portals and application portals.
Using Zoom, Teams and Google Meet confidently; camera setup, professional backgrounds and digital body language.
Recognising scams, protecting personal data, safe password practices, and using public digital services securely.
Navigating GOV.UK, accessing Universal Credit online, NHS services, DWP digital tools, and housing portals.
Exploring entry-level pathways in IT support, data entry, digital marketing and software; mentoring into next steps.
Whether you are a migrant or refugee applying directly, or a caseworker or support organisation referring a client, the process is simple and takes less than ten minutes.
Fill in the short form with your details (or the learner's details if you are a caseworker). Include the learner's current digital skill level, first language, and the type of support they most need. This takes approximately five minutes.
A member of our London team will contact the referrer or learner directly to introduce the programme, confirm eligibility, and discuss any additional accessibility or language support requirements.
We complete a brief, friendly skills assessment to understand where the learner is starting from. This determines which modules are most relevant and at what pace sessions should proceed.
Sessions are scheduled at times that suit the learner. Training takes place in person in London. We aim to provide or arrange access to a device where the learner does not have one.
At the end of each programme block, we review progress with the learner and signpost to further opportunities, including employment pathways, partner referrals, or our IT career mentoring stream.
