St Margaret’s Anglican Girls School has announced a new corporate partnership with leading accounting and business advisory firm Pitcher Partners – a synergy dedicated to investing in a female future work force.
The partnership reflects St Margaret’s commitment to developing innovative careers and employability programs for its students and helping its young women to identify and develop the necessary skills to participate, thrive and lead in a global economy.
It also connects Pitcher Partners with outstanding students, allowing them to bring the brightest minds into their business through internships, as well as mentor and support the next generation of business leaders through St Margaret’s school-based programs including Beyond the Panama, the Broadening Horizons Conference and the Aspiring Young Women’s Networking events.
St Margaret’s Principal Ros Curtis said it was exciting to see the long-standing partnership between the two organisations evolve and expand with a shared vision of preparing the next generation of business leaders.
“St Margaret’s has, for a number of years now, been focused on delivering innovative and effective career readiness programs for our young women and this partnership is one initiative that will enable students to access real-world educational opportunities and develop their skills to meet the needs of today’s employers,” Ros said.
For Pitcher Partners the partnership reflects the firm’s commitment to ensuring a diverse, equitable and inclusive workforce and investing in the future of curious, talented people to help them reach their full potential.
Pitcher Partners’ Partner Kylie Lamprecht said: “Ours is a dynamic workplace, always open to new ways of thinking and doing. The partnership with St Margaret’s is a practical example of how we work with our local community to provide opportunities for engagement as a pathway to a rewarding career that has a tangible impact on both the individual and the clients we work with.
“At Pitcher Partners collaboration is at our core and we love partnering with organisations to build better relationships, better results and better career opportunities together” Kylie said.
