About girledworld.png

girledworld is an award-winning education technology company transforming enterprise and career education to catalyse the next generation of female leaders, entrepreneurs and STEM champions.

To date we’ve engaged 30,000+ students from 180+ schools to enable them to access industry role models from the world's biggest companies, cultivate STEM skill sets, develop entrepreneurial mindsets, build innovation capabilities (Design Thinking) and real-world windows to the future of work.

Our industry-backed future career pathway spotlights, girledworld World of Work Summits (University of Melbourne 2017 / RMIT 2018 / University of Sydney 2019 / Geelong 2019) and online workshops engage students with relatable, relevant and real-world content so they can develop understandings of self within global contexts, access real-world industry skills and mentorship, and create next steps to plan their future career and lifelong learning pathways.

We collaborate with tech companies in Silicon Valley, corporate giants, scrappy startups and leading universities to ensure we're tapping research-backed, transformative online learning opportunities to empower, educate and equip secondary school students with the skills, mentors and knowledge they need to succeed.

2017: 2017 was a big year. We launched - and delivered the girledworld Big Ideas Leadership Summit to 500+ girls at the University of Melbourne endorsed by (then) Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and supported by our global Diversity Partner Airbnb.

2018: In 2018 we staged the girledworld WOW Summit for 650+ students at RMIT featuring global speakers and backed by MYOB and UniSuper, and delivered workshops and keynotes across Australia on the future of work, soft skills and innovation in education.

2019: In 2019 we partnered with the University of Sydney (NSW WOW Summit), Victorian State Government, City of Greater Geelong (Geelong Youth Innovation Summit), NSW Government (NSW Education), Local Learning and Employment Networks and multiple global technology businesses and leading Australian enterprises to bring students the latest industry practice, real-world career learning and outstanding industry role models, so they could start building their future pathways while still at school.

2020: In early 2020, we delivered a full program of career education and future of work events and workshops across Australia, a Workplace Mentoring and Employability Skills state-wide activation in partnership with the Victorian State Government and leading industries including News Corp, Slack, AFL and others (March 2020), and delivered multiple self-paced online learning courses to schools and universities across Victoria. Then COVID-19 hit.

2021: Luckily, we were already working on something pretty big - Future Amp - a proprietary career education platform to take our learnings over the past years, and roll them into a smart and interactive self-paced environment that could help every student build skills, discover industries and plan their career path, anywhere, anytime. In May 2021 we proudly launched Future Amp to the Australian education market in beta, following our successful selection into the David Gonski AO-chaired Future Minds program, and The University of Melbourne’s Innovated.

We are now full steam ahead in both businesses. The world and job market is changing fast. There is a lot of work to do to keep pace. And it’s our job to give young women everything they need to build bright futures, participate in the new world of work and take a future seat at the table to solve the problems and lead the solutions of our times.

Our vision is to democratise access to best practice career education and real-world skills-based industry knowledge for all students, and to build the next generation of leaders, founders and innovators in Australia who can create the ideas and enterprises of the new economy.

Please join us as a supporter or partner to scale or reach to more students, or get in touch with us at hello@girledworld.com to have a chat to our team.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Together, we can build bright futures for the young women of today, for tomorrow.
