NEWS: EN IN THE PRESS

Elevation Networks has successfully been in the national press over the last week or so. The Race to the Top: Black Student Experience in Higher Education report was launched in Parliament last week and will be launched at Deloitte Professional services offices tonight. It highlights discrepancies between education and employment opportunities for African and Caribbean students. The report was positively received by ministers, policy makers and educational institutes. We hope tonight initiates a conversation with corporate organisations to improve their organisation responsibilities around recruitment for African and Caribbean students.
