HJT has always maintained ethical values. In the early days of the immigration accreditation exams we shared our training materials with NGO providers including JCWI, we sponsored research and publications involving country evidence and refugee law with the major national NGOs RMJ and IAS, and we make our Mastering Immigration Law resource available to small NGOs working on a non-profit basis.

By nurturing an environment that embraces diversity we become a better team, and in turn are able to provide you with better training! At HJT, equal diversity and inclusion is essential to our success. Embracing diversity nurtures creativity and collaboration, and with a team of trainers and staff from different backgrounds we create an inclusive environment that makes us empathetic to the needs and aspirations of our clients.

HJT provides equal employment opportunities for all individuals regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, religion or other characteristics. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where all individuals feel valued, and respected.

Creating a genuinely diverse and inclusive workplace requires hard work. It is through our dedication and perseverance that we believe HJT can thrive and promote a working environment that embraces our differences for the better.
