FIF is currently recruiting for the seventh cohort due to start in January 2024 in Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Cupar areas. Registrations are open.

The academy operates for six weeks in a classroom style focusing on:

The workshops will also focus on what is expected from employees in terms of teamwork:

Participants attend tailored person-centred activities on other days. This could include coaching, ESOL classes, SDS meetings, and CV writing courses.
After six weeks of workshops, the participants move on to four weeks of work placement and will continue to receive support from FIF staff and volunteers on this journey. The academy being person-centred will nature aspiration to meet opportunities.
- The programme is designed for all migrants from 16 to 60 years old who are not in education or employment
