Advancing Women from Education to Enterprise

Magna Carta College (MCC), is organising Advancing Women from Education to Enterprise conference to advance its commitment to inclusive leadership and equitable opportunity. While women represent a significant proportion of higher education participants, they remain underrepresented in senior leadership and high-growth entrepreneurship.

This conference reflects MCC’s mission to bridge that gap, translating educational access into leadership, enterprise and lasting impact.
