Background to the role
The Building Ethnic Diversity in the Youth Employability Sector programme is now in its second and final year and was set up to strengthen the capacity of 10 Black and Asian-led youth employability organisations across England.
We work closely with the Youth Futures Foundation who champion ‘What Works’ and want to see more ethnic minority employability organisations supporting young people.
The Graduate Connector programme is a new London employment programme aiming to support 100 ethnic minority graduates into graduate-level employment. It will need to galvanise employers to offer graduate opportunities, provide support for graduate jobseekers and champion positive action.
