A career “speed networking” session involving 850 state school girls and 150 high-profile women took place in the inspiring setting of the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall last week.
The women represented a range of careers in the arts and included actress Jenny Agutter, author Kate Mosse, opera singer Amanda Roocroft, singer Jamelia, and television presenter June Sarpong.
It was all part of the Inspiring Women campaign, which encourages women to pledge one hour a year to talk to girls in schools about their job and career routes.
The campaign – which is part of the wider Inspiring the Future careers programme – has now reached a milestone of 15,000 women recruited to volunteer their time. Furthermore, since the campaign launched in October 2013, it has reached almost 290,000 girls and young women across the UK.
