Mercedes’ ‘Accelerate 25’ programme to increase diversity in motorsport engineering is moving at full steam, and on Thursday the team announced they have launched a new partnership with the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers UK (AFBE-UK).
The Accelerate 25 programme aims to have at least 25% of new employees at Mercedes come from under-represented groups every year up to and including 2025. To that aim, the Silver Arrows have already launched the STEM Academy partnership with the help of Lewis Hamilton and Toto Wolff, along with a partnership with the Stemettes to encourage women into pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) careers.
