We know from our members that staff recruitment and retention is one of the biggest challenges facing our profession at the moment. We also know that pervasive systemic barriers exist in educational advancement. CASE is determined to identify and eliminate these barriers whilst providing unparalleled opportunities for all professionals and talent – including those of diverse lived experiences at all stages of their careers to enter, progress, and lead in our profession.

To address both the lack of diversity in the advancement profession and the ongoing talent shortage, CASE offers two early career programmes - our internship programme and our graduate training scheme - to assist with encouraging diverse professionals to join the sector. In addition, our Opportunity & Inclusion Centre (OIC) and the Multi-Cultural Network (MCN) play a key role in CASE’s mission to support and encourage organisations to connect with their diverse constituencies and create equitable pathways for current and future employees.

This networking session is an invitation to hear how CASE champions an increased focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) within advancement.

Drop in and connect with the MCN Chairs, Graduate Trainee Programme Leaders, current/past graduates, and host institutions over refreshments.
At 14.50, Rob Henry (CASE Vice President, People, Talent, and Culture) will give a short presentation on the OIC and MCN.
