Instead of looking at how our students transition through school to the world beyond, we actually say why don't we bring the world to them.Mrs Kristy Kendall, Principal
Toorak College Partnerships: Launching Futures for Young Women
At Toorak College, we are dedicated to empowering young women to take control of their futures, both personally and professionally. Our partnerships with leading corporate businesses offer students unparalleled opportunities to engage with industry experts, gain real-world experience, and develop the skills they need to succeed in today's competitive landscape.
Why Partner with Toorak College?
According to the UN, it will take 130 years to achieve gender equality, meaning it will be five generations before men and women stand on an even playing field. Our goal is to empower young women to envision a future where their gender does not dictate their opportunities - a future where they have the freedom to make choices without limitations. This only happens if they can see what they need to become.
We believe that empowerment in various forms, be it financial, educational, or professional, is key to unlocking these opportunities. By partnering with Toorak College, your business can become a catalyst for change, playing a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of female leaders.
Our partnerships provide corporate businesses with a unique opportunity to:
Offer in-class curriculum development and support to share your industry knowledge and experience with our students and shape what they need to prioritise in their development.
Support our programs financially and help us continue to offer cutting-edge educational opportunities and experiences.
Provide exclusive cadetships for our Year 12 graduates, giving them a head start in their careers while benefiting from new and passionate talent in your organisation.
