The document discusses promoting diversity in apprenticeships for people from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds in the UK. It provides context on the government's plans to increase representation of BAME individuals in apprenticeships by 20% and discusses experts criticizing the government's strategy of only using improved marketing. The document also discusses the need to support BAME apprentices and employers through networks, role models, and addressing disparities between different ethnic groups. It mentions the BAME Apprenticeship Awards which celebrate diversity in apprenticeships.

This session will discuss closing the diversity gap in apprenticeships;
what’s working well and what we can do to champion further change
within the sector. We need change, we all say it but how is the move from intention to execution working, what are the missing links and how celebrating difference matters and how do we champion a culture
of authenticity?
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.
“I’m delighted to be leading on this event for such a worthwhile cause and for you supporting us in raising awareness and celebrating the achievements of BAME Apprentices.
Safaraz Ali
Founder of BAME Apprenticeship Awards
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.

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.
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 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.

3. UK government to scrap ‘BAME’ in
response to race inquiry
Ministers will drop the term black, Asian and
minority ethnic (BAME), beef up local
scrutiny of police stop and search and draft
a model history curriculum to teach Britain’s
“complex” past in response to the Sewell
report on racial disparities.
Inclusive Britain recommends dropping the
term BAME across government, as it is too
much of a catch-all, and gathering more
fine-grained data to inform future
policymaking.
4. English Apprenticeships: Our 2020
Vision
Supporting diversity in apprenticeships and access for
all
• We are committed to increasing the proportion of
apprentices from BAME backgrounds by 20%
English Apprenticeships: Our 2020 Vision
Dec 2015
BME 2020 Vision
“More must be done to ensure BME workers get more job
opportunities”
BME 2020 vision amongst other to focus on:
• Increase the proportion of apprenticeships taken up by BME
backgrounds by 20%
• Increase the number of BME students going to University
Sajid Javid, then Business Secretary
March 2016
5. BAME representation in UK's top jobs
has barely risen in past three years
The proportion of black, Asian and minority
ethnic people in some of the 1,100 most
powerful jobs in the UK has barely moved
over the past three years, according to a
study that highlights the lack of non-white
representation across key roles.
Only 51 out of the 1,097 most powerful roles
in the country are filled by non-white
individuals, an increase of only 1.2%, or 15
people, since 2017, the Colour of Power
survey by consultants Green Park and not-
for-profit organisation Operation Black Vote
said.
6. Race in the workplace:
The McGregor-Smith Review
Every person, regardless of their ethnicity or
background, should be able to fulfil their
potential at work.
That is the business case as well as the
moral case. Diverse organisations that
attract and develop individuals from the
widest pool of talent consistently perform
better.
7. DfE’s ‘bizarre’ BAME apprenticeships
strategy
“The Department for Education will
strengthen ethnic minority representation in
campaign imagery and make use of
“influencers” to tackle low numbers of
diverse young people taking
apprenticeships.
But experts have warned the action does
not go far enough, with one group saying it
is “simply bizarre” to think that racism and
inequality will be fixed by just running a
better advertising campaign.“
8. Please, don't call me BAME or BME! -
Zamila Bunglawala,
“The acronym BAME and the initialism BME
are, I feel, a good case in point. ‘BAME’
stands for ‘Black, Asian and minority ethnic’
and ‘BME’ stands for Black and Minority
Ethnic’. The terms are widely used by
government departments, public bodies, the
media and others when referring to ethnic
minority groups. Yet during research we
carried out with nearly 300 people across the
UK, we found that only a couple recognised
the acronyms and only one knew vaguely
what they actually stood for!
There is also a problem in that the terms
‘BAME’ and ‘BME’ aren’t always associated
with White ethnic minorities such as Gypsy,
Roma and Traveller of Irish Heritage groups,
which we know are among some of our most
marginalised and disadvantaged communities.
To leave these communities out of the very
language we use is to marginalise them even
further.”

• Celebrating and showcasing the best of British Asian Apprentices and the people that
employ and train them.
11. Endorsements
ANNE MILTON - FORMER MINISTER OF STATE FOR
SKILLS & APPRENTICESHIPS
•I was delighted to read about the continued success of the BAME
Apprenticeship Awards since their launch in 2016, and to read about the
background to the project and your achievements in 2017. I applaud your
commitment to recognising, highlighting and celebrating apprenticeship
successes, and in addressing the challenge of encouraging British Asian
communities to participate in apprenticeship schemes. Celebrating the best
of BAME apprentices, as well as their employers and trainers, will inspire
others and raise the profile of apprenticeships, which in turn will help
achieve an increase in Black, Asian and ethnic minority apprentices.
RT HON JUSTINE GREENING MP – FORMER
SECRETARY OF STATE FOR EDUCATION
•I was delighted to learn about the awards – it is great that you are bringing
together BAME apprentices, businesses and providers to celebrate their
successes.
12. The DfE’s blanket BAME strategy is
cloth-eared
This blanket approach is flawed by design.
By lumping all the non-white ethnicities
together under one target, we miss the
differences in existing patterns and future
needs for specific groups.
The proportion of BAME apprentices varies
around the country, but low apprenticeship
take-up is more significant among British
Asians than in other BAME communities,
where take-up is nearer the representative
population.
13. BAME Apprenticeship Awards
Celebrating talent & Diversity in Apprenticeships. Recognising the British BAME
Apprentices, their employers and learning providers.
14. The cornerstone of our belief is…
“The best person to promote and sell
apprenticeship programmes are apprentices
themselves, this is where we will add additional
focus, we will strive practically at all levels and this
is where we need your support.”

15. BAME Apprenticeship Alliance
& BAME Apprentice Network
Closing The Diversity Gap in Apprenticeships - aiming to change apprenticeships’
landscape, empowering apprentices to develop personally and professionally, as well as
championing change within the sector.
16. Protect student choice: Scrapping
BTECs is bad for levelling up and for
BAME students
Less than half of all enrolments for
qualifications likely to be removed come
from the least deprived students.
As a stark comparison, the students who
will be impacted consist of:
• 46 per cent for Asian students
• 47 per cent for SEN students
• 50 per cent for those receiving free
school meals
• 47 per cent for the most deprived
students

Our Diversity Pledge aims to support
employers in making a difference in the lives
of individuals of Black, Asian, and Minority
Ethnic backgrounds in starting sustainable
careers.
Key Insights on Culture & Diversity in
Apprenticeships
BAME apprentices are facing numerous
challenges, influencing their engagement with
apprenticeships, as well as their experiences
once in an apprentice role.
They wish to be part of support networks to
improve their experiences.
Employers also require support to recruit more
apprentices from BAME backgrounds.
