We ensure talented men of Afro-Caribbean descent have the opportunity to excel in education and beyond
What is the problem?
In 2016 the unemployment rate for black male graduates aged 16-24 in London was 18%, in comparison to 10% for their white counterparts (Office for National Statistics, 2016)
Black male graduates earn £7,000 less per year than their white counterparts (Guardian, 2018)
Only 2% of board members in FTSE 100 companies are Black or minority ethnic (Global future, 2018)
