Corporate visits give a better understanding of the different career paths while also giving a flavour of the corporate world or an insight into the public sector. In the past, students have visited companies such as Lloyds Halifax, Lansons Communications and Aviva.
Our Ambassadors are the alumni from our Women of the Future Awards and Asian Women of Achievement Awards.
They come from across sectors, including the arts, sciences, public sector, business and finance. They are keen to share their experiences and stories, to give insight to students into the multitude of careers available to them.
Delighted to welcome students and teachers from Streatham & Clapham High School to the WOF Awards Dinner.
During the evening the students and their teachers enjoyed meeting other guests and hearing all about the award-winners and their achievements.
“All the students were in awe of the guest speakers and so inspired. It was beautiful to be a part of their experience.”

Students had the exciting opportunity to visit Google’s London offices for an inspiring event arranged by Women of the Future Ambassadors’ Programme. The students heard from members of Google’s team, who shared their personal career journeys and insights into the wide range of roles available at Google. They also offered practical advice on pursuing careers in technology and innovation.
Kirsty Verney, Deputy Head Sixth Form at Churcher’s College, said, “It was a fantastic visit with some great takeaways for our girls and details on the vast offering in Google. Thank you for the encouraging words from those who gave up their time to share their stories and advice.”
A big thank you to Srishti Warman, GTM Manager, Pixel (EMEA) for arranging the visit.
Our incredible WOF Ambassador, Carlotta Zorzi-Chapman, visited St Mary’s School Gerrards Cross to chat with students about tech, innovation, and chasing your dreams.
The students were captivated by her journey and insights into the exciting world of technology. One of the teachers shared:
“Your talk was exceptional and the girls gained so much from it. You’ve had such an inspiring journey and it was amazing for the girls to hear someone speak so passionately about the world of tech.” – Sam Kelly, Key Stage 4 and Head of Religious Studies
Lansons gave our 5 of our connected schools the opportunity to visit their offices in London to host a PR workshop giving them a taste of what PR is and interview training and top tips.
Thank you for organising the insight visit to Lansons today. I had 5 students with me and they had a really great morning. The speakers were all interesting and the students felt they learnt a lot from the session.
– Nicky Stoney, Head of Careers & Futures, Sydenham High School
Thank you so much for inviting us to join the event at Lansons today. The girls and I thoroughly enjoyed it – they said that you’ve won them over! It was so interesting to hear from different speakers about their roles in the PR, Marketing and Communications sector and gain a comprehensive overview. The students also said how helpful it was to hear from an employer about what to include in their CVs and how to prepare for interview.
– Liz Allen, Deputy Head of Sixth Form (HE & Careers), James Allen’s Girls School
Pipers Corner School welcomed one of our ambassadors from the Women of the Future Programme to speak to our sixth formers about her groundbreaking work in sustainable building practices.
The session was more than just a talk—it was a hands-on challenge! Students worked in teams to design and build their own sustainable structures, pushing their creativity and critical thinking skills to the limit. Hearing first-hand about the ambassador’s experiences and achievements motivated our students to think ambitiously about their own career aspirations. The event culminated with each team pitching their innovative designs to the ambassador, gaining invaluable feedback and insight into the future of green architecture.
A huge thank you to the Women of the Future program for inspiring our students to think bigger and bolder. The future of sustainable design is in good hands!

It was so wonderful visiting your school and meeting some of your students. We had a wonderful two sessions. The pupils were very engaged and asked some very bright and interesting questions – Emma Oldham, WOF Ambassador
It was an absolute pleasure to join you at the Careers Seminar and share my journey with the girls. They were such an engaged and inspiring group, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations – Aletha Shepherd, WOF Ambassador
