baseline
Through our conversations and work to date it is clear there is a gap that needs filling. But what is that gap? We know there are many different initiatives that support people to grow and develop their careers, be they are gender related or more broadly linked to profession. We do not want to duplicate what these initiatives offer, but we do want to understand what we might offer to complement what already exists and fill any gap.
