About the Company
Amnesty International is a UK social business/enterprise that operates worldwide mixing social responsibility with entrepreneurship to make the world a little better. Their goal is to integrate refugees and migrants into the labour market and hence into society. In essence, Amnesty International has developed the idea of a ‘nonprofit temping agency’. They employ refugees and asylum-seekers, hiring them out for temporary work to partner companies. All income generated is used to support their salaries and provide additional training, such as language support. The ultimate aim is that the temporary worker transfers over to the partner company as a permanent employee.
