HOW DO WE EQUIP STUDENTS FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK?
GIRLEDWORLD WORKPLACE MENTORING + EMPLOYABILITY SKILL BUILDING 2020.
We partnered with the Victorian State Government and workplaces across Victoria to design an online career education program to give high school students a chance to see what they could be, understand the role of career mentorship in exploring and planning exciting job pathways, and the importance of workplace skills in their future careers.
Thank you to ALL the AMAZING VIRTUAL WORKPLACE MENTORS FROM OUR 2019-2020 PARTNER COMPANIES! YOU HELP US TO CONNECT TODAY’S STUDENTS WITH THE JOBS OF TOMORROW.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our 2020 Workplace Mentoring program was delivered online FREE for Victorian schools and students in Years 7-12.
Thank you to all the amazing virtual industry mentors who featured in the videos and employability skills e-learning resources, and to the schools and 1000’s of students across Victoria who participated in this program. This program is still available FREE for online access for all Australian high school students (Years 7-12). The program is self-paced and will take approximately 45 minutes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
SO WHAT’S INVOLVED EXACTLY? AND WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
The Mentor role is about guiding and helping young women to achieve their goals and realise their potential. You’ll help them understand the skills required for your day-to-day work, open their eyes to your industry and what the real world of work looks like, and involve them in a few hours of a day in your work life to give them access to critical real-world learning so they can make informed decisions about their future careers. There is no pre-work required. You just have to have generosity of knowledge, and a willingness to share a few hours of your work day on a nominated time/date in 2022.
I’m KINDA BUSY! WHAT IS THE TOTAL TIME COMMITMENT?
We know your time is precious. Therefore we have designed the 2022 program to be high impact and easy to commit to.
The Mentor pledge requires you to commit to a minimum of TWO HOURS where you agree to host female students in your workplace, or conduct online virtual conferencing, enabling them to gain a rare window into the real world of work.
girledworld will provide the matching service based on individual student’s and schools’ industry interest area (we connect with 1000’s of students across Australia so will find students who can most benefit from the experience).
Prior to the engagement, we will also provide you with useful tips for how to make the most of your time together! Simple as that!
