School visits

On the 24th of April and again on the 5th of June, students from schools across the UK spent the morning at the Salesforce headquarters as part of the Women of the Future Ambassador Programme.

They were given the opportunity to dive into AI, technology and the future of work. From conversations about how it fits into their future careers, to getting a real look inside the Ohana Floor and the AI Centre, where robots roam the floor and real-world models of AI bring everything to life, both days were designed to show these learners what’s possible and give them the tools to get there.

The Ambassador Programme was built for this exact reason, getting the next generation of leaders into rooms they might not have found on their own, and making sure they leave with more than they came with.

A huge thank you to Salesforce for making this happen 🩵

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!
