BHM Series: Experience as a Black Professional with Tim Ugwu

Black people are one of the groups that had the highest unemployment rate (8%) compared to their White counterparts (3%) (Gov.UK, 2021). The StrathUnion is working with University Careers Services to increase the employment rate amongst the Black community by promoting available support and inviting guest speakers to share their stories and experience as Black professionals in the UK.
