Creating a MiFriendly City

We wanted the communities of Coventry, Birmingham and Wolverhampton to take the lead in unlocking their cities assets, coming together to drive change at both city and regional levels.

Our regional migration initiative not only set out a programme of activities for migrants, but looked to engage with employers and the wider public to build a stronger community.

About MiFriendly Jobs

We wanted to empower refugees and migrants to aid in driving the economic success of the region by creating new job and work placement opportunities, engaging with employers about hiring from within this community, and highlighting the skills and passion of everyone in our cities.
MiFriendly Cities created a network of ‘Migration Friendly Employers’ whose common goal was to strengthen the workforce of the West Midlands, creating an infrastructure which offers ongoing support and increases contact between communities in the workplace.
