Skills & Employment Experience Survey

Skills & Employment Experience Survey: Asylum Seekers & Refugees in Northern Ireland

The Executive Office has commissioned the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) to conduct a survey to find out about the skills, qualifications and employment experience of people seeking asylum, refugees and British National (Overseas) visa holders in Northern Ireland.

The information collected from the survey will help the organisation find out more about experience and skills, as well as challenges faced.  This is important because it will better inform how best to help others seeking sanctuary in Northern Ireland.

The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and is anonymous.

The survey is available in multiple languages, which can be selected before the survey begins.  Complete the survey here – https://surveys.nisra.gov.uk/asrss/

Closing date: Wednesday 17 September 2025.
