Women Power Logistics was proud to host two learners from Amos Maphanga Secondary School in Emaphupheni in Benoni at their Driehoek offices last Friday.<\/p>\n

The company was established in 2011 by a group of women with vast knowledge and experience in road freight operations.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It came as no surprise that an all-woman company would jump at the opportunity to introduce young girls to their industry, and prove that women can be big players in previously male-dominated industries, as their contribution to the Take a Girl Child to Work campaign.<\/p>\n

The campaign allows girl learners to experience a day in the professional workplace, showcasing a variety of career opportunities.<\/p>
