Free English language courses have been opened in Bishkek and Osh for citizens wishing to work seasonal jobs in the UK.

According to the Center for Employment of Citizens Abroad, free English language training will be provided to citizens who have previously worked in the UK and plan to return as seasonal workers. The classes will start on August 1 and last two and a half months.

“The purpose of the course is to improve your level of English so you can have a more comfortable stay in the UK. If you enroll in the course, you are committing to take (the course) from start to finish,” the Center’s website says.

Students will learn grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. However, these courses are not prerequisites for selection into the seasonal worker program.

On the organization’s website, migrants can fill out a form that requires their data and information about their previous work experience.
Earlier this year, the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration of Kyrgyzstan opened online registration for Kyrgyz citizens seeking seasonal work in the UK. In one day, over 26,000 people registered on the migrant.kg portal. This year’s quota for seasonal work in England is at most 10,000 people.
