Through existing local and national data, Black staff are indeed underrepresented in management posts. Our programme consultant, Trevor Gordon, has assisted the college to develop a thorough and high quality programme designed to get more Black staff into managerial positions.
In order for Black students and indeed the local Black community to succeed in their work and career goals, it is vital that they see positive Black role models in the workplace at every level. We find great importance in fostering these ambitions and the Lambeth College Manaagement and Leadership programme for Black staff will assist in providing visibele role models at every level of our organisation.
The College is deteremined to address the underrepresentation of Black staff in management posts and as such is fully committed to invoking its legal and moral duty under the Equality Act 2010 to take "practical and reasonable" steps to address underrepresentation through the use of Positive Action.
This is our first year running this programme and we are excited to see our delegates flourish in and outside of the programme.
