BME LINKED WORK AND TRAINING PROGRAMME
The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and Linked Work & Training Trust (LWTT) developed this innovative pilot project which adapted a successful work-based professional training programme to target unqualified black and minority ethnic staff in white led voluntary organisations. This project had 2 core aims:
To deliver a three year degree level training and work experience for a group of black and minority ethnic people currently employed in voluntary sector and community organisations.
To share learning among voluntary sector and community organisations and a range of public sector stakeholders around the experience and outcomes of designing and delivering the training programme in ways which dismantle barriers to skills development and employment progression faced by black and minority ethnic groups.
Project Stucture
The programme was delivered as a partnership between SCVO and LWTT, adapting a local work-based training model to the specific needs of black and minority ethnic people and sharing learning experiences among stakeholders and relevant organisations.
The project delivered a three year package of training and work experience culminating in the award of the Bachelor in Community Learning and Development from the University of Glasgow. In addition the project developed a steering group of key stakeholders, peer support and mentoring systems and a programme of conferences, seminars and publicity to raise awareness of the model and its future application adaptability.
