Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Staff Development Scheme

‘Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.’ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The innovative and inspiring Management and Leadership Development Scheme for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff is a part of the University’s strategy of ‘growing’ and ‘empowering’ staff to deliver a world class service.

A stimulating and challenging programme designed to offer skills, knowledge and experience in leadership and management to staff from a Black, Asian or Ethnic Minority community working in the University of East London in roles in which management is a significant component.

Participants are inspired to see beyond their horizons and motivated to achieve dexterity in developing their careers in this organisation or other higher educational establishments.

This Scheme together with the development of staff networks will enhance the good relationship, staff, managers and students experience in this establishment.

Participants from the first Cohort had this to say;

‘I've enjoyed my time at UEL because I believe it's a great place to work. For example I have had the opportunity to attend the BME leadership course which has significantly helped me in my leadership journey and I recommend it to anybody’
‘I have found this course very useful in many different areas… Within the department they can see the difference and I feel the difference in the way I present myself and I feel very confident’
‘I have enjoyed the professionalism and the nature of the workshops and have found the facilitators very easy to talk to and confide in’
