“…Scholarship on the employment experiences of African migrants affirms the significance of work for social inclusion, participation and integration. A range of challenges face African migrants finding employment in their chosen field, with major barriers including: English proficiency and communication gaps (Abdelkerim & Grace, 2012; Hebbani & Colic‐Peisker, 2012; Hebbani & Preece, 2015; Ibrahim et al, 2010; Lejukole et al, 2012); racism and discrimination (Abur & Spaaij, 2016; Hebbani, 2014; Udah et al, 2019); lack of desired social networks, work experience, qualifications and/or access to transport (Correa‐Velez et al, 2015; Delaporte & Piracha, 2018); ineffective employment transition support services (Hebbani & Khawaja, 2018); and settlement location (i.e. settlement in regional or rural areas compared with cities) (Boese, 2013; Correa‐Velez & Onsando, 2009).…”
