Creating a Pipeline of Women Leaders
By providing young women with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed in male-dominated industries, Empower Her Future aims to create a pipeline of female leaders who can drive innovation and diversity in these fields.
“We believe that every young woman deserves the opportunity to reach her full potential, regardless of the industry she chooses. Empower Her Future is designed to empower girls with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed in traditionally male-dominated fields.” Says Lisa Sweeney, CEO Business in Heels
Nick Hannett, CEO of SEDA says, “At the core of SEDA has always been practical, applied learning that is connected to industry. We’re excited to work with Business in Heels on our shared vision of empowering young people, as we expand our diploma offerings into the business sector empowering young women to shape their future careers”

A 2022 Monash University study of nearly 2,800 students in Years 10 to 12 revealed that one-third of young women felt they lacked enough information to make informed career choices.
According to a Grattan Institute study, 1 in 5 students leave university without a degree but with debt, and 40% said they would not have enrolled if they had been better informed.
