I didn't see it myself until I got much more interested in the outcomes and employment journeys of students. And I can only attest to the microcosm of reality I see with my own limited eyes.

For what it's worth, 10 years ago I wouldn't have seen gender disparity because we simply wouldn't have had those women on the programme in the first place - so progress of course, but in small steps.

I suppose it's also amplified by being in an area where we're so desperate to grow good people that it feels galling and frustrating to see anyone left by the wayside in such times. Maybe I am not noticing the young lads who are similarly sidelined, but are less vocal.
