More than 10% of the UK workforce is from an ethnic minority background and over 20% of the emerging workforce are from an ethnic minority background. Britain’s current and future talent pool is racially diverse and progressive employers understand that it makes good business sense to utilise and grow this pool of talent. Race for Opportunity (RFO) is committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. Visit our website at www.bitcdiversity.org.uk .
