A Systems Thinker: You are highly experienced in developing comprehensive frameworks, resources, programmes, or pathways that actively help people progress and perform effectively in their roles.
A Qualified Professional: You hold a relevant degree or professional qualification in sport, learning, workforce development, volunteering, management, or a related field (or possess equivalent relevant senior experience).
