Mission Statement
BTEG’s mission is to end racial inequality. We believe that the contribution of all communities makes a nation, builds dynamic local communities, generates wealth and improves well-being. We champion fairness, challenge discrimination and pioneer innovative solutions to empower BAME communities through education, employment and enterprise. Our activities involve working with Government, business, public services, BAME organisations and the media.
About This Cause
The Black Training and Enterprise Group (BTEG) is a national charity delivering programmes for black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) young people aged 11-30 years to help them realise their full potential. We work collaboratively across the public, private and civil society sector, conduct action research, operate as a strategic partner for funders and provide a voice to government for BAME civil society organisations. We are a dynamic networking organisation connecting with over 1000 organisations in England. Our trustees, staff and patron are committed to providing effective leadership and innovative solutions to long standing racial inequalities. We believe our country will be more equal, inclusive and fair when all organisations, across all sectors, reflect from top to bottom the diverse service users and customers that they depend on. Racial inequalities waste the talents of many BAME young people and we must do all that we can to remove barriers that hamper them from reaching their full potential BTEG started out as a project within National Council for Voluntary Organisations in 1991 and registered as a charity in 1996. Approaching our 30th anniversary, BTEG now provides programmes for young people, national policy development and action research. The organisation continues to collaborate with other race equality and mainstream organisations and has established itself as an important voice on race equality and the criminal justice system (CJS). Aims and activities of the organisation - BTEG has five core aims: 1. Employment: to increase employment rates for BAME people to the national average. 2. Social and Economic Regeneration: to ensure that BAME communities contribute to the social and economic regeneration of their communities. 3. Education: to raise the attainment levels of BAME pupils in education to the national average. 4. Strong Communities: to work with individuals and communities to improve integration and cohesion through developing shared values and aspirations for the whole community. 5. Entrepreneurship: to motivate and inspire individuals to act on their ideas and to realise their enterprise potential Our main strands of work include: Policy and action research: we advise government departments, produce research reports, key statistics, briefings and e-newsletters and stimulate new approaches to close the racial inequalities that persist in education, employment and enterprise. Regular events are held to connect our networks with policy makers and to inform our policy development. We campaign at national and London level to keep BAME unemployment and social mobility on the agendas of both the Government and the Mayor of London. BTEG continues to advise the following bodies: Department for Education’s Apprenticeship Equalities and Diversity Advisory Group (chaired by BTEG) and Apprenticeships Stakeholder Board; Metropolitan Police’s Strategic Inclusion, Diversity and Equality Board, GLA Mayor's EDI Advisory panel and the Cabinet Office Race Disparity Advisory Group. BTEG's Innovative projects and partnerships: Routes2Success: A London community role model programme that uses a volunteer force of successful men and women from African, Caribbean, Asian, Arabic and mixed backgrounds to inspire young black males and ethnic minority girls and young women 11-25 years to succeed in education, employment and enterprise. http://bit.ly/1kmk2kH EQUAL: A national initiative to improve outcomes for BAME and Muslim people in the criminal justice system.

Phase Two will continue to focus on employment outcomes for young black men in London but with a greater emphasis on developing replicable models which could work in other geographic areas and for other ethnic groups facing barriers to labour market access and progression. http://bit.ly/2dkN4zL BAME Connectivity Programme: The BAME Connectivity programme supports and strengthens BAME organisations to be better positioned and structured to survive in the changing landscape and context of the VCS in London. https://bit.ly/2WlyZw9
