OUR VISION

Here at the Girls in Charge Initiative, we want to make entrepreneurship a real career option for female students and to equip them with the confidence and skills necessary to achieve their goals. We do this through games. Speaker-led events can be incredibly inspirational, but how long does that inspiration truly stay with you? Instead, we thought we'd create something that focuses on skills development, but in the most fun, silly, creative way possible. As children, we simply learnt through playing. Why can't we do that as adults?

Consider us a prelude to the (pre-) accelerator and incubator programmes. We help female students investigate the world of entrepreneurship before they commit to being entrepreneurs (or to a specific business idea).

First Group of Student Leaders

We ran our first ever training session in February 2019 with some fabulous young women from London School of Economics and Westminster!

Student Leader Training Exercise

The best way to practise public speaking is in a controlled environment with people who are in the same boat. Public speaking whilst being filmed adds extra pressure. Don't worry, it's with the Student Leader's own phone, so they can watch back and self-evaluate later!
