Motorsport UK launches Inclusion Hub
Motorsport UK is excited to announce the launch of its Inclusion Hub, bringing together complimentary organisations, within the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) space under Motorsport UK’s umbrella.
The Hub is initially for those aged 14-24, their guardians and teachers to support them in navigating opportunities within the motorsport industry available to them.
The Inclusion Hub can be viewed HERE.
This initiative is part of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and diversity in motorsport, addressing underrepresentation and promoting STEAM education.
The Hub, a website created in collaboration with and commissioned by Mission 44, includes organisations such as Formula Student, Girls across the Grid, Greenpower, Racing Pride, the Student Motorsport Challenge and Motorsport UK’s Girls on Track UK and Race for Diversity initiatives.
As part of the initiative, Motorsport UK has ensured that all listed organisations have a safeguarding and safer recruitment policy.
Jessica Runicles, Head of Sustainability, Motorsport UK, comments, “Motorsport is increasingly becoming the career path of choice for young people. However, finding these opportunities and even understanding where to start, can be tricky, with information difficult to navigate.
“It is thanks to Mission 44, that we were able to collaborate and create a Hub that expands engagement, participation and seeks to strengthen these networks within our motorsport community, promoting diversity and inclusion and ensuring that young people have access to this information.”
Hub users can explore job opportunities, internships, volunteering and educational resources dependent on their interests.
Motorsport UK officially launched the Inclusion Hub at Autosport International at the NEC Birmingham with representatives gathering at the dedicated Inclusion Hub space.
