Migrant Access Programme (MAP)
Supporting Migrants to Access Employment in Ireland
The Migrant Access Programme (MAP) is a free nationwide service established by New Communities
Partnership (NCP) in 2017. Our aim is to support migrants to overcome cultural and personal barriers
and empower them with a “Toolkit” to outline their career future in order to access employment
opportunities as residents in Ireland. MAP uses two models in its work; The Employment training
and Public Information sessions both of which are delivered by multi-lingual Facilitators. This enables
MAP to be inclusive of participants whose first language is not English and based on individual needs
assessment.
