How do we increase the number of Apprentices from BME communities? Jeremy Crook OBE CareerPaths Online & Waltham Forest s Business, Employment and Skills Unit Conference 29 May 2014

Secretary of State for Work and Pensions And the real point is just how much talent and capability are businesses missing by not looking to employ people from black communities at the same rate as they might have done for anybody else. And that s the real challenge to get across to people the idea that businesses need to rethink the way they look at every that comes to them for a job. Iain Duncan Smith MP, 3 March 2014.

Proportion of Population Labour Market: 16-24 Year Olds 16-24 Year Olds by Ethnicity 100% 90% 80% 70% 2,041,000 60,000 239,000 106,000 2,607,000 60% Inactive 50% Employed 40% 30% 3,318,000 66,000 179,000 63,000 3,667,000 Unemployed 20% 10% 0% 57,000 869,000 19,000 65,000 1,026,000 White Mixed Asian Black Total The above figures were published by the Office for National Statistics in March 2012

Apprenticeships & Race Equality Only 13.8% of Apprentices in England are BME (The Data Service, 2013) 25% of on-line Apprenticeship Vacancies applications are from BME individuals. BIS Equality Objective: Work with National Apprenticeship Service (NAS) to increase access for disabled young people and other protected groups (2012) No specific NAS strategy in place to increase EM participation and access to equality and diversity statistics has been limited (i.e. ethnicity and gender by region/sector starts and completions). BTEG analysis of The Data Service full year data for 2011/12 and the relationship between the number of AV applications by ethnicity and the number of starts by ethnicity. Shows: Overall ratio of starts to applicants was 1:2 (one person started for every two people applying) This ratio is true for White British applicants. - Black Caribbean and Back African 1:6 - Indian 1:5 - Pakistani 1:7 - Bangladeshi 1:9 Overall for EM applicants 1:4

All age apprenticeship starts by ethnicity, London 2012/13 London apprenticeship starts London population (16-64) Number % Number % Black/African/Caribbean/Black British 8,450 18.7 596,000 11.0 White 25,880 57.4 3,325,000 61.1 Asian/Asian British 5,790 12.9 1,035,000 19.0 Mixed/Multiple Ethnic Group 2,850 6.3 119,000 2.2 Other Ethnic Group 1,140 2.5 356,000 6.6 Not known/not provided 960 2.1 7,000 0.1 TOTAL 45,070 100 5,439,000 100 Source: National Apprenticeship Service

Explaining ethnic penalties- Discrimination (Source: Anthony Health, Oxford & Manchester Universities) Field experiments in western countries routinely show that job applicants with foreign-sounding names receive fewer call-backs from potential employers Such applicants often have to make twice as many applications as their western peers Evidence that discrimination is greater in the private sector and in smaller firms Evidence that discrimination is reduced in high-tech occupations

What are the Challenges for London We do not know how many of the 44% of BME starts are aged 16-24 years. (This data is collected but not made publicly available by DBIS) We do not know how many of the 44% of BME starts in London are conversions.i.e. individuals already in employment - we understand it s a high proportion) We do not know how many apprentices remain employed after completion. BME communities well/over represented in Business, Administration and Law (6,000/9500) and Health, Public Services and Care (5500/4600) BME under-represented in Construction, Planning and the Built Environment (300/1500) Black people are over represented in apprenticeships in London (19% of all apprenticeships) How many BME young people are starting Apprenticeships at Level 3 and above?

What action is necessary now? BIS/London Enterprise Panel/Mayor need to publish Apprenticeships data for London by age, gender, ethnicity and disability. LEP/NAS better leadership in London to identify race equality priorities in Apprenticeships. Targeted work with employers/providers in sectors where BME young people are underrepresented.
