About Centre of Learning

At the Centre of Learning, we recognise and are frequently told by women on our programmes, that they face unique challenges and barriers in the workplace. 

We are dedicated to providing the support and development opportunities needed to address challenges head-on. By equipping women with the necessary skills, knowledge and confidence, we aim to empower them to break through obstacles and reach their full potential.

Making An Impact Report

Making an Impact is the first report of its kind that will focus squarely on what our work has achieved for our women, for inclusion, for our economy and, ultimately, our society. Producing this report on an annual basis, we will paint a clear picture of The WiB Group’s contribution in our collective quest to building an economy defined by inclusion and prosperity.

Plus, in documenting our impact, we are holding ourselves accountable to the goals we’re working to achieve and hope to open the door for new partners wanting to get involved. Collaboration is central to the Group’s strategy. Across our four social enterprises, we are pushing forward on the frontiers of flexible working and EDI, helping to set a gold standard for companies wanting to transform their workplace for the better. 

Our team is hard at work on maximising impact, as you’ll see in the pages throughout the report. With this being the first Impact Report, we very much welcome your thoughts and feedback.
