We want all GDST girls to learn without limits, so that they go on to lead lives without limits. But that learning doesn’t stop after you leave school and so we are delighted to be able to provide a range of careers resources for our alumnae community. Whether you are looking for your first role, planning a career change, returning to work or want to up skill and advance, we are developing a library of resources to support you.
You can also apply for the new mentoring scheme on this page – applications close on Monday 3 August, and mentor/ mentee matches will be arranged over the summer.
Sometimes we all need some helpful tips on key workplace topics. Here are some of our Top Three Tips for a range of topics, which we’ll keep adding to. Find out more about:

We are delighted to relaunch alumna-to-alumna mentoring with the GDST alumnae community. Mentoring is a key element of our commitment to supporting alumnae professionally throughout their careers, as part of the life-long connection they have to the GDST. Sitting alongside our networking events and a new online careers resource library, this scheme allows alumnae to benefit from the collective expertise of GDST alumnae, the largest and most influential network of its kind. Mentoring has a range of benefits, including individual career and skills development, and knowledge sharing.
If you are interested in taking part, please read our helpful guides below and then submit your help or request via the below form, by Monday 3 August 2026. You will then be matched with a mentor/ mentee and put into contact with them in late August/ early September:
