The Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day\u00ae campaign will take place on May 28.<\/p>\n
This is the 13th time the initiative is set to happen.<\/p>
It was originally scheduled for June, this year, but the organisers have changed the date so as not to conflict with any examination timetables.<\/p>\n
Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day\u00ae is targeted at Grades Ten to 12 South African female pupils and gives them the opportunity to visit a place of work and to experience the various career opportunities available to them.<\/p>
More than 50 000 young girls will take part this year, with hundreds of companies around the country opening their doors to them.<\/p>\n
Since the first launch, in 2003, more than 2 400 companies and government departments have participated in the Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day\u00ae campaign.<\/p>\n
By showing their support of Cell C\u2019s call to action for the advancement of women, 670 000 girls have been exposed to a multitude of businesses and varied career and job opportunities.<\/p>\n
The project is supported by the Presidency, which has hosted girls since the inaugural event, as well as being endorsed by the Department of Education.<\/p>\n
Companies who wish to host a group of girls on May 28 should register online at www.cellc.co.za\/girlchild.<\/p>\n
