It was great to hear our VC, Professor Mark Power, on BBC Radio Merseyside this #BlackHistoryMonth talking about the initiatives ongoing at LJMU that are impacting the recruitment, retention, and progression of ethnically diverse students and staff. Listen back to his interview over the weekend (from 1h17mins) ➡ https://lnkd.in/e2Edp3ir
Great to be invited as a guest this evening to speak to Jermaine Foster on BBC Radio Merseyside. We spoke about Black History Month and the initiatives ongoing at LJMU which are having an impact on recruitment, retention and progression of ethnically diverse students and staff. Two particular successes are the university’s Reciprocal Mentoring Scheme with Black students and leaders across the Liverpool City Region and our Positive Action Training Programme, which helps Black and ethnic minority individuals enter employment at LJMU. We discussed sharing these achievements and encouraging other organisations to adopt similar initiatives to listen and make effective change when it comes to diversity and inclusion.
