Empowering Future Leaders: PwC collaborates with Victoria College to Deliver Third Student Leadership Conference
26 June, 2024
PwC has teamed up with Victoria College to deliver 'Tomorrow’s Leaders,’ the only student leadership conference of its kind in the Channel Islands. Aimed at aspiring and newly elected student leaders, the conference - now in its third year - provides a unique forum for students to discuss and develop their leadership skills as they move into their new roles, equipping and empowering them to deliver the very best in leadership in our schools and long into the future as they pursue their careers.
A full day of leadership training, the conference welcomes student leaders from 11 different secondary schools and colleges across the Channel Islands. Sessions cover a range of topics including problem solving, public speaking, team roles, conflict resolution and safeguarding - each one designed to build the foundation for a core set of skills required in the students’ new roles.
Ian Ross, Director from PwC said,
‘We're thrilled to be the sole sponsor of this initiative as it aligns perfectly with our commitment to nurturing talent and equipping young people with essential business, entrepreneurial and leadership skills. We are passionate about developing a sustainable skills base on the island. By supporting our community with pivotal events such as this, we can ensure that we are empowering the next generation, equipping them with the skills they need for their professional careers so they can become future leaders who drive positive change.’
This year, we are also fortunate to welcome Serena Kersten, Head of People and Performance at Humanise Solutions, as the conference’s keynote guest. With her experience as a former captain and current Non-Executive Director of England Netball, Serena is a recognised authority in leadership and unlocking potential.
Headteacher, Dr Gareth Hughes, said,
‘We are delighted to welcome PwC on board this year to support us with continuing to grow and develop this really exciting and empowering student conference. The leadership attributes that our two organisations value and encourage have been pivotal to our collaboration; we are pleased to have access to PwC’s extensive experience of developing leaders who will help support Channel Island student leaders to inspire, innovate and drive positive change not just in their schools but in their future careers too.’
