As we conclude Black History Month, we persist in honoring the invaluable contributions of Black Americans to our society, celebrating their legacy throughout the year. At Manufacturing Registered Apprenticeships, we recognize the profound significance of diversity and inclusion, not just during this designated month, but every day of the year. Our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace extends beyond mere acknowledgment; it's ingrained in our values. As a Registered Apprenticeship Intermediary, we've witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of apprenticeships in opening doors to individuals of all backgrounds. As we transition into March, we're thrilled to announce our focus on celebrating women in apprenticeship. Throughout March, we'll spotlight the remarkable achievements of women in various apprenticeship programs, showcasing their unwavering dedication and the positive ripple effects they create within their respective fields. Join us in championing diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion – not just as a passing gesture, but as an ongoing commitment to progress. Together, let's continue to pave the way for a more equitable and empowering future for all. #BlackHistoryMonth #WomenInApprenticeship #DiversityandInclusion #EmpoweringFuture

Approved Clinical Supervisors who identify as Black…please sign up for The Praktiki Directory! The goal is to provide graduate programs, students/interns, supervisees, and the community with access to the finest supervisors who look like them. Several pain points from students include: (1) not having access to sites or supervisors who specialize in the communities they hope to serve, (2) no role models in private practice, and (3) lack of Black owned practices on the graduate school's directories. For example, PsycYourMind is the only Black owned private practice on Johns Hopkins University, School of Education practicum/internship directory. Praktiki is a trademark and subsidiary of PsycYourMind in partnership with PoundCake & Private Practice.

Your beginnings don’t define you✨ I used to be embarrassed about the fact that I didn’t have a father figure present in my life. Throughout my teenage years, I was adamant about changing my surname to my mother’s maiden name as her family raised my twin sister and I from Day One. Given the fact that I grew up in a single parent household, things weren’t so easy. I remember going through the Argos catalogue (if you know, you know), and circled everything I wanted. But deep down, I knew we couldn’t afford it. I used to be embarrassed about the fact that I had free school lunch meals when I went to state schools, as most people around me were able to afford lunches. I used to be embarrassed about the fact that I was one of two black girls (the second person being my twin sister) in my entire primary school. Due to people’s comments, I used to hate having my natural hair out as a child, and spent so many years hiding my hair in braids. Social Mobility Day is a very important day for me because all these years later, these things no longer bother me. As an adult, I have learnt to embrace all the things I used to find so negative and see them as my strengths. Being in a single parent household has taught me so much about hardwork and emotional resilience. Being a recipient of free school meals has taught me how to be grateful of everything you have in the moment. Being one of the only POCs in the room has taught me that I have a right to be where I am, and I shouldn’t hide my true self. As a volunteer at The Black Apprentice Network (BAN), we strive support black students of underrepresented areas into amazing apprenticeship opportunities. Never in a million years did I think I’d ever be where I am today due to teachers not motivating me to aim high, particularly in my first secondary school. However, being an apprentice has enabled me to learn an immense amount from my colleagues, university and peers for nearly two years, whilst having the opportunity to network with individuals in the industry. And this is only just the beginning. What’s your story? #socialmobilityday #degreeapprentice
