An East Kilbride college has been supporting a group of asylum seekers after they got in contact to say they couldn’t get a job and were left with little hope.
The nine students, all fleeing from Somalia who have been housed in a hotel in East Kilbride, were looking for opportunities to train or study when South Lanarkshire College (SLC) stepped in to offer support.
College lecturer, Mark Sheridan, was contacted by one of the asylum seekers through a contact at the local Mosque in February to say that they and others couldn’t work and were awaiting Visas.
