Supporting ethnic minority young people from education into work

Considerable improvements in educational attainment among ethnic minority groups – particularly students from African and Bangladeshi backgrounds, have not been matched by sustained progress in the labour market. What success have you achieved to support students from ethnic minority backgrounds to progress to employment?

A new report ‘Supporting ethnic minority young people from education into work’ suggests recommendations to support education‑to-work transitions for young people from ethnic minority backgrounds, drawing on examples of best practice in Bristol, Nottingham and Tower Hamlets.

The report proposes a range of options including apprenticeship hubs, greater workforce transparency, procurement strategies, and targeted mentoring programmes.
