Hidden histories and visible barriers: Rethinking Black representation in career development

This Black History Month, we open with a critical exploration of how exclusion and erasure continue to shape career development for Black communities.

Free to attend

CPD Theme: Black History Month

This session will explore the systemic barriers Black professionals and service users face in the world of work, including issues of underrepresentation, structural racism, and the ‘ethnic penalty’ in career progression. We will reflect on the legacy of colonial systems, how narrative power shapes aspiration, and why representation alone is not enough to achieve equity.

 

Learning Outcomes:

• Deepen understanding of structural exclusion and its legacy in career development

• Reflect on practitioner positionality and the stories we centre in CEIAG

• Identify opportunities to embed race-conscious approaches into everyday practice


This session supports the following competencies:

• Career-Related Learning

• Career Development Theory

• Career Development Practice
