Story Behind the Curve
FY24: At the beginning of the FY the program was struggling to recruit and retain mentors, however things improved significantly during the second half of the year which you can see if you compare the Half Year data. This new model appears to be working better so we anticipate more stability in this metric in future Fiscal Years.
