Career Advancement Programmes in microfinance are crucial for the UK's economically disadvantaged.

These programs, including entrepreneurship training and financial literacy courses, equip individuals with the skills needed to secure better employment. By offering tailored training and mentoring, these initiatives address the current skills gap and boost employability within the microfinance sector. The success of these initiatives is demonstrated by the increasing number of participants and improved employment rates among program graduates.
