Taking Forward Talent Match

Talent Match Steering Group: D2N2

The Steering Group for Talent Match provides the driving force behind the work that has to be accomplished across D2N2 in order to submit a successful Talent Match prospectus.

The Steering Group exists to help drive the programme but also provide a route for feeding information in and out of the developing prospectus. The Steering Group comprises:
