Case Study: Hear from Marlon, a teacher from Islington, about his experience with Race for Diversity:

Our involvement with Motorsport UK over the last year means we have a great insight into the aims and objects of the various projects through Race for Diversity. We have attended two events to date as a group of diverse students and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences as we gained more insights into the various jobs available in motorsports for all genders and races.

Advice from Evelkah Powell Manager of Race for Diversity:

My piece of advice to a teacher of a young person passionate about motorsport and STEAM, is to reach out and email us. We want to destigmatise motorsport and any notion of who does or does not belong in the industry. We want to highlight the number of different career opportunities available to young people and we want to do it in a fun and engaging way – get in touch and find out more about our partnerships!

The Inclusion Hub, developed by Motorsport UK and Mission 44, simplifies access to motorsport opportunities for young people, educators, and underrepresented groups. It offers clear pathways into the sport through volunteering, education, career resources, and community-building opportunities.

The Inclusion Hub is available to anyone looking to find opportunities in motorsport. However, the platform is aimed at young people that are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM).

By providing a comprehensive digital hub, we can ensure that young people, regardless of background, have the tools and opportunities they need to thrive in motorsport.

Additionally, the platform features extracurricular programmes that can help you build valuable skills and enhance your CV—qualities that employers in the motorsport industry highly value.
