girledworld is an award-winning career education company that launched through the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Business and Economics Melbourne Business School in 2017.
We deliver best practice online career education and industry-backed, skills-based programs to get today’s students ready for the future of work.
To date we have engaged with 30,000+ students from 180+ high schools around Australia delivering career pathway, leadership, entrepreneurship and STEM education workshops, World of Work education summits in partnership with leading universities, VET providers and leading industries across Australia, and we continue to partner with global technology companies and Australian businesses to give students critical access to career pathways, skills development, real-world industry problem solving, and virtual work experience.
girledworld came to market when Cofounders Madeleine Grummet and Edwina Kolomanski undertook an extensive Master of Entrepreneurship research project, and recognised the current skills gap in the global workforce revealed a key insight: government, university and multi-tiered educational approaches to addressing the soft (21st Century) skills, industry knowledge, workplace diversity and gender deficits in the Australian STEM, entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership domains needed to be accelerated for Australia to compete in the global marketplace.
girledworld was the solution, and the award-winning globally backed organisation now works with schools, universities, industry, Silicon Valley tech startups and business mentors to give 1000's of students the skill sets and mindsets they need to thrive in The Knowledge Age.
