I haven’t attended any virtual VC/AC but did them in person. In my experience, it is based on the firm’s needs in parallel with what the sector seems important. So if a firm lacks gender parity, this may be reflected in the future trainees they seek to hire. Same for gender/sexuality.


As an aside, I wonder what why the OP felt uncomfortable as the only man in those groups? Ironically, it is often the inverse where women/people of colour are often the only one in the room.


Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
