The Royal Air Force (RAF)

Each year, Amazing Apprenticeships does something new and exciting to mark International Women’s Day, and 2021 was no exception.

In March 2021, we partnered up with the RAF to host an exclusive webinar for students, teachers and parents to celebrate the achievements of women throughout the force and to help to inspire the next generation of young women about the incredible opportunities available to them.

The webinar featured a panel of over 20 female Ambassadors – from medics to engineers to aircraftwomen to dog-handlers – along with Chief of Staff Personnel, Air Vice-Marshal Maria Byford, as the keynote speaker, who leads HR within the force managing over 35,000 staff.

Full of inspirational advice, thrilling stories of adventure and achievements and thoughtful commitments to the #ChooseToChallenge theme of the day, the impressive panel ensured an engaging afternoon and challenged all who attended to defy gender stereotypes and cliches.
