About Us
Overview
The Impact Research & Development Hub is a dynamic organization dedicated to promoting inclusive employment opportunities through innovative research, skills training, and active community engagement. Our mission is to bridge the gap between diverse communities, especially from the global majority (BAME populations), and market-driven skills demanded by employers. By equipping individuals with future-ready skills, we empower them to thrive in the workforce or embark on entrepreneurial journeys.
The Hub recognizes the transformative power of education and skills training in driving socioeconomic change. Our initiatives are designed to meet individuals where they are, providing resources and guidance to help them achieve their full potential. We approach our work holistically, addressing systemic barriers while fostering innovation, resilience, and self-sufficiency within communities.
