Apprenticeships: Breaking Down Barriers for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Youth?
Lola’s research explores the lived experiences of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic youth in accessing apprenticeships, and their workplace experience during their training period. The research aims to understand the barriers and opportunities for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic youth in apprenticeships. There is currently very limited research on the apprenticeship experiences of minority ethnic individuals who are significantly underrepresented in apprenticeships. My research seeks to explore how gender, class and racial inequalities (Acker, 2006) affect uptake, training and progression upon completion of an apprenticeship
