 In 2019, 10,627 potential victims of trafficking were referred into the National Referral Mechanism in the United Kingdom for identification and support. That's a 52% increase in referrals since 2018. Unfortunately, many more people are becoming vulnerable to trafficking because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Survivors face many challenges when trying to rebuild their lives, including finding decent work. They may have limited understanding of employment practices and work culture in the United Kingdom. They may lack the digital skills and tools to search and apply for jobs online. They may lack employable skills and experience, and they may face practical challenges. In response to these challenges, IOMUK is happy to announce today on the UK's Anti-Slavery Day that we are finalizing a skills development program for survivors. The first program will start in November and will initially be delivered online for three months. The training program will cover three key areas of skills. Firstly, digital literacy skills. Survivors will learn how to use a computer to search and apply for jobs online, to prepare their CV, and to stay safe online. The second area covers life skills such as understanding systems and support structures in the United Kingdom, rights and responsibilities, and building soft skills for the workplace. The third area covers employment skills to help survivors understand employment practices and work culture in the United Kingdom. Alongside the skills training program, survivors will receive personalized support from an IOMK worker to help them identify their strengths and their interests, to prepare their CV, to apply for jobs, to access vocational training and volunteering opportunities. By next year's UK Anti-Slavery Day, we aim to have trained and supported three groups of survivors, improving the curriculum and the materials as we go. We are also designing a framework to measure progress towards employment for the survivors we are supporting. Finally, we will share the resources we develop with other organisations to support survivors of trafficking in their journey towards employment and integration in the United Kingdom and beyond.
