Article 1 – Research conducted by PwC discusses that, of 32,500 workers worldwide, half of employees report missing out on career opportunities/training due to discrimination.
Also mentioned – A recent report by the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities urges companies to move away from unconscious bias training, branding it as “ineffective”.
Article 2 – In the Budget, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced the Government would be pouring £126 million into flexi-apprenticeships which would allow apprentices to work for a number of different employers in a single sector.
Article 3 – The CIPD stated the apprenticeship levy had “failed on every measure” and “will undermine investment in skills and economic recovery without significant reform”.
