Middlesex University in partnership with Instep UK is proud to introduce the exclusive Global Majority Leadership Apprenticeship Programmes – the first of their kind, designed to empower individuals from African, Asian, Caribbean, and other ethnically diverse backgrounds to step into leadership roles with confidence. 

Our mission? To build a stronger, more inclusive pipeline of future leaders — breaking down systemic barriers, unlocking cultural awareness, and supercharging leadership potential.  

Why a Global Majority Programme? 

Traditional leadership development often takes a one-size-fits-all approach overlooking the unique challenges faced by Global Majority employees. This programme goes further by focusing on what matters most to underrepresented leaders: 

• Inclusive Leadership – understanding how culture, identity, and lived experience shape leadership style 

• Challenging Bias – addressing unconscious bias, microaggressions, and exclusion from networks 

• Empowering Teams – creating progression pathways and embedding equity into people practices 

• Navigating Power & Influence – learning to manage conflict, negotiate, and communicate across cultures 

• Data & Strategy – analysing pay gaps, progression, attrition, and driving decisions based on facts 

• Innovation & Change – leading organisational transformation where DE&I is the catalyst 

• Visionary Leadership – shaping authentic governance that reflects diverse communities
