About Me

Talent is evenly distributed across the communities.
But opportunities are not!

Our training programmes support young people to address inequalities and barriers hindering them from accessing opportunities and achieving their full potential. Drawing on our over 40 years expertise of supporting young people from BAME communities, we consistently update our courses to meet the needs of the changing work environment.
