ABOUT US
Opening doors
since 2012.
Some careers are easy to picture. Others feel like they belong to someone else. Through the Looking Glass exists to close that gap. Since 2012 we have brought talented A-Level students from schools across London inside the offices, chambers, studios and boardrooms of the City and beyond – from law firms and banks to global retail and beauty brands – to meet the people who work there and ask them the things a prospectus will never tell you.
Over the course of a week involving talks, tours and workshops, students meet professionals from across the City and beyond – law, finance, property, technology, retail and more – and explore a diverse range of different professions, many of which they have never been introduced to. We do this because we believe in humanity, diversity and meritocracy, because we remember what a single open door can do and because you cannot be what you cannot see.
Students leave with practical skills, live experience of the working-world, a network of real contacts and something harder to measure: the confidence that these rooms are open to them too. Our alumni have gone on to build phenomenal careers in law, accounting, finance, technology and business – and some have built companies of their own.
