Apprenticeships deliver not only for individuals and businesses, they’re also essential to the economy. It’s our belief that young people in apprenticeships and the employers who provide them with opportunities should be both recognised and celebrated.

BUILDING FUTURE VALUE!
Afrika Tikkun is building a sustainable future by enabling today’s disadvantaged children and youth to become tomorrow’s productive citizens. We do this via a unique and proven Cradle-to-Career model which invests in the education and social development of children from early infancy through young adulthood and into gainful employment.
South Africa’s multitudes of disadvantaged children face unique challenges that are no fault of their own. For many, lack of access to basics such as having parents, food, shelter and healthcare means that daily life revolves around simple survival, frequently leading away from education and social promise into despair driven crime.
Afrika Tikkun's mission is to break the cycle of poverty, providing these children with Hope, Capability and Promise - the education, life-skills and confidence to become the self-sustaining, productive future of the country. This is the shared goal of Nelson Mandela, our founding Patron, whose legacy we strive to live by and to instill in all those we touch.

The institutions that were selected to develop the project had the highest performance in terms of their main objectives, and for example, employing youth women, working with the disadvantaged and special needs, providing training to vulnerable groups including refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons the refugees and returnees. By providing and marketing technical and professional reference books, marketing and publishing textbooks and making them accessible to trainees and developing a short-term training manual.
The BAME Apprenticeship Awards aims to showcase the range of talent and hard work within the BAME communities which will be made possible with the contribution of employers and learning providers who share these beliefs.
The first Asian Apprenticeship Awards, took place on November 10th, 2016, in Birmingham city centre.
The event celebrated young Asian apprentices as well the professionals who have trained and employed them.
This report (written by our Project Director, Isa Mutlib) provides an overview of the context and background of the event, the businesses that were in attendance, our trusted judges, and our ambassadors.
We have also included details about our sponsors, companies involved within the event, our survey responses and our social media statistics.
The event was a great success last year, and will be taking place again in 2017.
The Asian Apprenticeship Awards took place on the 10th November 2016 at the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre. The aim of the awards was to celebrate and showcase the best of British Asian Apprentices and the people that employ and train them. In doing this, we hope that we will encourage more young British Asians to consider apprenticeships and more employers to provide opportunities to benefit from the skills that apprentices bring. Apprenticeships provide value for individuals, businesses and the economy. There is a universal commitment in the UK of being able to extend opportunities for everyone regardless of their race, gender or religion. In this respect, a number of government targets have been placed to improve the labour market chances for all. These include increasing the quantity of apprenticeships taken on by young people deriving from BME backgrounds by 20% and also increasing BME employment by another 20%, by the year 2020. The Asian Apprenticeship Awards are all about doing something practical to make a positive difference. We believe at least in a small way that we have made a difference and will continue to do so by highlighting, recognising and celebrating apprenticeship success both with individuals, employers and learning providers that support them. We all recognise that for the success of businesses and therefore the economy and the country as a whole, we have to be able to draw upon a skilled and motivated workforce. It is also clear that our apprentices are vital to providing these skills. However, there are not enough of them and especially not enough from the British Asian communities. So the challenge for us is how to address this issue. Our aspiration is that the Asian Apprenticeship Awards will make an important contribution by raising awareness, celebrating success and inspiring others.

The Asian Apprenticeship Awards has completed its third year in operation since being founded in 2016, and our aim hasn’t changed: to celebrate the talent and diversity of British Asian Apprentices, their Employers and Training Providers.Since inception, we have noticed a significant transition among those within the skills sector about some of the stigmas behind apprenticeships within British Asian and BAME communities generally. Through the support of the Government and key partner organisations, we have been able to use this platform to propel our message into new communities across the country to encourage more people from British Asian communities to consider an apprenticeship route.2018 also saw a sectoral shift response with a 25% increase in involvement from employers compared with training providers and FE colleges which saw a decrease. The male and female split among finalists was quite interesting. Generally, females outweighed males in many of the sectors. However, the gender balance overall was affected by the male dominated sectors of Construction and Engineering & Manufacturing. When speaking with sector leaders, this was no surprise.“It is really disappointing to see the proportion of finalist as 100% male in Construction as well as Engineering and Manufacturing. Whilst recognising that a large proportion of the workforce in these two sectors are male there are still a significant number of females employed and many of these are excellent and well deserving of a place in the finals. We need to encourage them to come forward as entrants and show the skills and talent them possess”- Graham Hasting-EvansPresident of the British Association of Construction HeadsGroup Managing Director NOCNLastly, we saw from our data a significant increase in organisations supporting initiatives locally and nationally to raise the profile of apprenticeships within diverse communities. More people were using the platform of the Asian Apprenticeship Awards to not only encourage more people to enter and celebrate their successes but as a tool to raise awareness of diversity internally.

About BAME Apprenticeship Awards
Previously the Asian Apprenticeship Awards, the BAME Apprenticeship Awards aims to showcase talent and diversity within BAME communities through the celebration of those working hard to overcome adversity to achieve their goals through apprenticeships. The awards highlight the achievements of apprentices and the contribution of employers and learning providers who have assisted them along their journey.
Our findings were that several factors contributed to this, some which focussed on apprenticeships themselves and others around diversity. From our research we found that:
Apprenticeships were seen negatively
There was a lack of understanding of apprenticeships
More focus and pressure was being put on going to university
No positive apprentice role models
We used this as the basis for us to set up the Awards because we felt that an Awards would be the most effective means of inspiring excellence and sharing best practice as well as creating more opportunities for those involved.

The Asian Apprenticeship Awards was launched in March 2016 to celebrate the talent and diversity of under-represented British Asian Apprentices, their Employers and Training Providers. Apprenticeships have been seen as a secondary route for British Asians with the perception that University is the primary way for leading a successful career. This correlates with the current representation of British Asian apprentices with the starts of 2016/2017 - that being 4.1%. The 2017 awards brought together cross industry and sector leaders from across the country supporting not just the event, but the cause behind it. With over 60% of our audience at C-level or Managerial level, there was a high level of influence in the room - a significant increase from 2016.Our awards fits into a larger discussion around Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) representation within the labour market. There has been a demand for diverse workforces, not just for the local and national demographic representation, but for the economic benefits. For the economy to thrive, diversity is key. Full representation of BAME individuals within workforces across the UK would be worth £24bn per year to the economy.Employers and Training Providers are recognising this and are bringing out initiatives to boost diverse representation.

the original content of the 1973 TPS manual1 was written by
the staff2 of Toyota Motor Corp. (OMCD - Operations Management Consulting Division.
By 1970, Toyota had a fairly stable production system internally and they made a decision to
assist suppliers by sharing their knowledge and skills. To do this, Toyota created a special
internal improvement group called Production Research Division (later renamed Operations
Management Consulting Division – OMCD)
his 1973 manual was also used as course materials by Ohno and his team – the Japanese
Management Association compiled their workshop materials and released it as a book in the
1978. Productivity Press translated it and released it as Kanban: Just-in-time at Toyota in
1986. While much of the Productivity Press book consists of the same materials as the 1973
TPS Manual, it is not presented in the same order.

2. Previously the Asian Apprenticeship Awards, the BAME Apprenticeship Awards aims to showcase talent
and diversity within BAME communities, through the celebration of those working hard to break down
barriers, challenge the norm and overcome adversity to achieve their goals through apprenticeships.
The awards highlight the achievements of apprentices and the contribution of employers and learning
providers who have assisted them along their journey.
3. Why BAME Apprenticeship Awards?
In 2016 following reforms for vocational training and apprenticeships, a target was set to
increase the diversity of apprenticeships to 20% by 2020. As a result of this announcement we
carried out some of our own research into apprenticeships to try and identify barriers causing
a low uptake of apprenticeships from BAME communities.
Our findings were that several factors contributed to this, some which focussed on
apprenticeships themselves and others around diversity. From our research we found that:
Apprenticeships were seen negatively
There was a lack of understanding of apprenticeships
More focus and pressure was being put on going to university
No positive apprentice role models
We used this as the basis for us to set up the Awards, because we felt that an Awards would be
the most effective means of inspiring excellence and sharing best practice as well as creating
more opportunities for those involved.
4. What have we achieved?
Over the past 4 years we have engaged with over 1000 apprentices from BAME backgrounds that
have been empowered through the nomination process of the awards, giving them an opportunity
to reflect on their apprenticeship and share their success.
Since launching the awards in 2016 we have had 4 award ceremonies where we have recognised:
The awards has created over 200 Role Models, Leaders and Ambassadors for Apprenticeships,
by giving all winners and finalists a platform to share their success and raise the profile
apprenticeships within BAME communities.The winning employers highlight the success of
diversity, encouraging other employers to follow suit. Learning providers have been a force for
change working with both employers and apprentices to reduce the diversity gap.

Apprentice of the Year Winner 2016
Previous role: Civil Engineering Technician Apprentice at Atkins
Current Role: Trainee Site Engineer at Costain
How winning has impacted your journey?
Winning the apprentice of the year and engineering apprentice of the year awards
has provided me with a great platform to showcase the skills and experience I
have learnt within the engineering field both within my organisation and external events too.
The ambassadorial role I played through being a judge in 2017 and 2018 gave me a chance to talk about my
experience as a former apprentice and being a young Asian female within a male dominated industry. The role
gave me an opportunity to showcase the numerous benefits an apprenticeship has to offer as well as illustrate
the most rewarding benefits of working within the engineering field.

How winning has impacted your journey?
Since winning the award, I have entered into a new and exciting role
and broadened my network. My profile has risen which lead to doing a
campaign with the BBC. I have become a mentor to new apprentices and often share experiences with
our exec board on apprenticeships within our company.
7. Maitham Rashid
Retail, Hospitality & Tourism Winner 2018
Previous Role: Business and Retail Apprentice
Current Role: Senior Manager at Morrisons
How winning has impacted your journey?
It was an honour to have won the Retail Asian apprentice award, a
category with extremely talented individuals. It was satisfying to see that
there is a great organisation helping to promote and celebrating apprenticeships whilst recognising
the valid contribution they make to society and embracing diversity and culture. From winning
the awards it has given me a huge amount of confidence to embrace any new challenges and
opportunities that arise my way. I am now a member of The Young Apprentice Ambassador Network
to help drive apprenticeships. Especially within multi-culture background where communities
don’t necessarily understand the worth apprenticeships bring and would rather advise taking the
traditional route before even considering apprenticeships.”
8. Khaliqa Amani
Apprentice of the Year Winner 2019
Previous Role: Business Admin and HR Apprentice
Current Role: Trainee Apprenticeship Co-ordinator in HR
How winning has impacted your journey?
Being a finalist in 2018 made me feel extremely proud as it was my
first chance to break the stigmas I faced within my family and friends.
It encouraged me to give back more to the Apprenticeship community and I then took every
opportunity I could to promote Apprenticeships especially in the BAME community. I believed
that the work I had done in 2019 was worthy of an award and deserved recognition, so that it
encourages my mentees further to follow the apprenticeship route, should they wish to.
My line manager and I, then articulated my story in a detailed nomination and applied for
Financial, Legal and Professional services award. When the finalists were announced, I was
disappointed when I did not see my name in the category, but as I scrolled further on the website, I
found that I had been shortlisted for Judges Choice Award instead!
That shortlist was a huge achievement in itself. Having won the Judges Choice Award on the night
was phenomenal. But what made me feel extremely proud was winning the Asian Apprentice of
the Year 2019 Award! That night, I felt like all that hard work, fighting against stigmas and staying
firm towards my goal was truly worth it!
10. Entries, Judging & Awards
The awards will launch alongside National Apprenticeship Week on 3rd February 2020. We will be launching a
campaign to promote all of the past winners during this period sharing their stories.This will give a lot of profile
to all of the winners as it will be seen across multiple channels during a period when everyone will be engaged
with apprenticeships.This will also kick start the process for nominations, we will be sending communications
out to all learning providers and employers across the country to make them aware of the awards and
encourage them to submit nominations.
Nominations will close towards the end of April and the judges will meet in May to review all of the applications
that have come in.The Judges will review all applications and choose a winner for each category and a highly
commended. The judges’ decision on the winners is final.

something completely new.
Following the event we host a winners lunch, which is an opportunity for all of the winning apprentices and
employers to meet an engage with each other.This intimate lunch is a great way to spark some debate and

James Caan CBE - Founder Of Recruitment Guide Apprenticeships have
become more and more important to our economy.The need to rapidly upskill the next

but for businesses and the economy. In the Asian Community sadly, there is a stigma attached
to apprenticeships and it is seen as something lesser than a degree or getting into employment
straight away.

The House Of Lords These Awards are excellent!Young people with self-esteem, self-
respect and a ticket they know will set them on a path of realisation of aspiration, will be the
immediate beneficiaries of the aura and esteem these Awards give the Asian Community, but our
