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 Impact of Graduate Development Programs - Article - Fitch Learning, By Su...Suhail Shamieh, MBA, PMP
In today’s fast changing, fast moving business world, we are frequently introduced to new technologies and ways of doing
business. Often graduates sit at the forefront of these new advancements. Graduate Development Programs is an effective way of bridging the gap between the academic world and the real world of work.
Apprenticeships are an effective means of employers developing their own talent. They also offer a viable alternative to university for people looking for a direct and affordable route to skilled jobs and careers. However, many employers have yet to recognise the full benefits of apprenticeships, even though their value extends to most sectors and occupations.
The CIPD’s new guide on apprenticeships gives practical advice on how employers can tailor high-quality apprenticeship programmes that meet their current and future skills needs.

1. Black Country Enterprise Adviser calls for more volunteers from business to get
involved and connect young people with the world of work
David Woakes, one of the Black Country LEP’s first Enterprise Advisers is calling for senior
level business volunteers to get involved in connecting young people and the world of
work as part of the national Careers & Enterprise Company Enterprise Adviser
programme.
Managed by the Black Country Skills Factory, this third wave of recruitment for the
Enterprise Adviser programme seeks high calibre volunteers from business, employed or
self-employed, to fulfil the role of Enterprise Adviser across the Black Country.
Enterprise Advisers will encourage schools to explore a wide range of employer interactions
as part of a wider school strategy of careers, enterprise and employer engagement and help
address the lack of knowledge and limited engagement with the world of work faced by
many young people.
Supported by Enterprise Coordinator, Deniece Gabriel, the Enterprise Adviser will work
closely with the senior leadership team of a specific school or college to:
- Support the development of a whole school strategy for careers, enterprise and employer
engagement
- Provide access to their local business networks
2. Page3
- Help schools and colleges to focus efforts on programmes and activities that are most
effective in motivating young people, supporting independent choice, and supporting
positive outcomes for young people.
Volunteer Enterprise Advisers can be from any sector and will receive information and
guidance via Deniece Gabriel. The Black Country LEP is looking for individuals who are:
- Senior level experts in their own sector and able to develop an understanding of the wider
local labour market and promote its needs.
- Prepared to commit to a school for at least one academic year with a time commitment of
up to one day (or part day) per month.
- Willing and able to act as a ‘broker’ rather than deliver activities directly to schools.
Recruited through the first wave, David Woakes Group Business Development Manager at
Jonathan Lee Recruitment Ltd, has been working with Sandwell Academy for a term
encouraging staff and pupils to consider the different routes into engineering and
manufacturing and the many opportunities available in careers in this sector.
David Woakes, Enterprise Adviser said: “I hope that my positive approach and enthusiasm
will influence at all levels. Having a wide breadth of knowledge and exposure across
industry, plus access to many different and interesting organisations through my business
activities is something that I can hopefully communicate to young people.
“I see the role as an ideal opportunity to help educate students and schools that engineering
and manufacturing are now not just “dirty, low paid jobs” but that in the UK we have many
companies at the cutting edge of technology development which will provide young people
with real careers and significant opportunity. I hope many more senior figures from the
world of business volunteer their time and get involved.”
Deniece Gabriel, Black Country Enterprise Co-ordinator said: “Becoming an Enterprise
Adviser is a unique opportunity to support a school or college in improving opportunities for
young people, and it is also a chance to join a network of like-minded peers. The role is an
opportunity for people to draw on their own business expertise to support schools in
developing their careers and enterprise strategies.”
Sandra Caddick, Director of Careers, Guidance and Industrial Links said: “David Woakes,
the new Enterprise Adviser first undertook a needs audit, identified development points
including looking at the quality of business engagement Sandwell Academy currently
undertakes in the Black Country and with larger national organisations. We are very
optimistic about the positive contribution which the Enterprise Advisor will make and the
industry knowledge which David can share to enrich the careers education of Sandwell
Academy students.”
3. Page3
Simon Topper, Head Teacher Sandwell Academy added: “This is a great initiative which we
welcome with open arms. In partnership, we intend to broaden the strong work that already
exists at Sandwell Academy in linking the business and education worlds.”
The Black Country LEP is currently receiving expressions of interest for the role of Enterprise
Advisers. Further information can be downloaded from
www.blackcountryskillsfactory.co.uk/schools/careers-enterprise-company-enterprise-
adviser-programme/enterprise-advisers. The deadline for expressions of interest is 10 June
2016. Applications should be sent to Deniece Gabriel, Enterprise Co-ordinator via
deniece_gabriel@blackcountryconsortium.co.uk highlighting previous experience in this
area. All volunteer Enterprise Advisers will need to be DBS checked.
The Black Country LEP aims to link 45 Black Country schools with an Enterprise Adviser
working in partnership with Careers Enterprise Advice Information Guidance (CEAIG)
providers across the Black Country.
The Careers & Enterprise Company has invested £100k; with equivalent match funding
offered through the LEP and affiliated partners, to deliver the project from September 2015
through to September 2016.
