At Caramel Rock, we believe that access to conversations, mentorship, and real world insight can help shape confidence, ambition, and future opportunities for young people.
On Tuesday, 24 March 2026, we were proud to host a special Round Table Talk in partnership with Oakleafe Claims at the Caramel Rock space, bringing together young men and women from our network for an inspiring afternoon of discussion, reflection, and career insight.
The event created a welcoming environment where participants could openly engage with experienced professionals and senior leaders, ask questions, and hear honest stories about leadership, resilience, and navigating career pathways.
Young people attending the session had the opportunity to hear directly from:
The discussion explored important themes including:
Through personal experiences and open conversation, participants gained valuable insight into professional journeys, workplace experiences, and the importance of persistence and self belief.
While Caramel Rock is widely recognised for empowering young people through fashion and creativity, events like this highlight the wider mission of supporting future pathways, confidence building, and access to industries and opportunities that many young people may not otherwise encounter.
The session encouraged meaningful interaction between participants and professionals, helping bridge the gap between education, creativity, and the world of work.
We are incredibly grateful to Oakleafe Claims for collaborating with us and investing time into supporting and inspiring the next generation.
Partnerships like this play an important role in helping young people see new possibilities for their future and understand that there are many different routes toward success.
This Round Table Talk is part of our continued commitment to creating opportunities that empower young people socially, creatively, and professionally.
We look forward to building more collaborations, conversations, and experiences that inspire confidence, ambition, and positive change within our community.
