We ensure talented people of African and Caribbean descent have the opportunity to excel in education and beyond
What is the problem?
In 2018 Black people had the highest unemployment rate out of all the ethnic groups (9%) ( % white counterparts)
Black graduates are almost twice as likely to be unemployed as their white peers a year after leaving college.
British people of African and Caribbean heritage are the most underrepresented in key positions throughout the UK
Only 2% of board members in FTSE 100 companies are Black or minority ethnic (Global future, 2018)
