PRESTO (the Partnership for Refugee Employment
through Support,
Training and Online Learning) brought together
11 organisations between 2004 and 2007
to test new models to
improve the employment prospects of refugee professionals in
the
health, education, engineering and enterprise.

level;

services;

education and engineering;
• creating a national database for refugee engineers;

self-employment;
• creating a range of products for refugee clients and agencies
to support employment in health, education, engineering,
enterprise and ICT.
