The barriers to employment faced by young black men
East Potential is a charity that provides housing and support services to young people who are homeless or in housing need in the east end of London. In order to ensure that their provision offers the best possible support for young Black men, they commissioned ETHNOS to identify the barriers to employment faced by young Black men and to evaluate the quality of their accommodation, advice, training and support for this client group. The project combined a literature review, focus groups and a survey with both employed and unemployed young Black Caribbean and African men housed by East Potential.
