078: Useful careers resources for black students and graduates - UK Black History Month

Dive into your Career

Ready for some useful careers resources for black students (in or connected to the UK)? You're in the right place! This is an episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast - inspired by UK Black History Month.
I know I know - when you are black every day of the year, it sometimes makes you wonder why there is such a focus on Black History Month. I get it... and am here for constructive conversations like this but the fact remains that awareness days can be so powerful because even though there should be equity and meritocracy and all those good things - that is not the world we currently live in.
So, one of the contributions to UK Black History Month (which will exist way beyond) is this episode about useful careers resources for black (and mixed race including black) students and graduates.
There are some brilliant organisations who are making major moves towards the sort of world many (admittedly not all) of us want to see - and in this episode I share a few of them. Some I have a direct relationship with and experience of and some I don't.
Listen in for more details about each of these organisations and of course go on to do your own research and check them out yourselves as that will be the best way to know more about what they do and if you are eligible to connect with them.
In this episode, you will hear about:

• 10000 Black Interns
• Diverse
• Amos Bursary
• Windsor Fellowship
• Rare Recruitment
• Target Oxbridge
• SEO London
• BYP Network
• Cocoa Kids

Such good stuff!
