faq’s

  • Yes, especially if you don’t know yet!

    Spark My Future is made to help you figure that out. It is designed to help you get clarity, confidence and direction. You don’t need a clear plan. You just need curiosity and a willingness to explore what you really want.

  • We get it: life is full.

    That’s why Spark My Future is designed to be realistic alongside your study or internship. The full program takes about 12 hours of group sessions and 12 hours of self-work, spread over 16 weeks.

    That’s roughly 2 hours a week to invest in you. And trust us: the clarity and confidence you gain are more than worth it.

  • Not at all!

    Spark My Future is for every young woman who wants to explore her talents and make a strong, authentic start, whatever her ambition. You don’t need to dream of a CEO role (though you totally could).

    This program is about discovering what energizes you, owning your story, and building confidence in yourself and your next step. Because here’s the thing: women often underestimate themselves. You are capable of more than you think.

    We’re here to help you see that and act on it.

  • We only have space for 20 students in this round, so yes, we make a careful selection based on your motivation and to create a good mix of perspectives in the group. If it’s not your moment this time, you can join our mailing list and be the first to know when we open a next round.

  • There’s no catch. Spark My Future is made possible by a group of experienced women who volunteer their time because they believe in you and in what happens when women lift each other up.


    We’ve been where you are, and we know how much it helps to have someone in your corner. This is our way of paying it forward. No hidden agenda. Just real support to help you start strong.

  • Clarity. Confidence. And community.

    You’ll get coaching, a stronger story for your CV and LinkedIn, a clear picture of what energizes you, and the courage to go for it. Plus: a graduation moment, a certificate, and even a free professional headshot.

    You will feel ready to start your career!

  • Only what you feel comfortable sharing. This is a safe space, and you’re always in charge of what you bring in.

    That said, this program works best if you're willing to show up honestly. That’s how the magic happens.

I'm convinced. Let's go!
