25.04. was GIRLS’ DAY and we were part of it again!
We have been supporting GIRLS’ DAY for several years now, presenting our company every year and providing interesting insights into the apprenticeship as a mechanical engineering technician. We see GIRLS’ DAY as a great initiative to encourage more young women to choose an apprenticeship in the field of technology.
This time, two students visited us and enthusiastically took a tour of the company and were given an introduction to the profession. Afterwards, they were given a closer look at the machines and the girls were allowed to try their hand at bending, cutting, grinding and measuring wire. In order to give an overview of the learning effort and an assessment of the current level of knowledge, a small math quiz was then carried out.
We were very pleased with the great interest and the fantastic cooperation. Many thanks to the organizers and participants. We hope we were able to give you a lot of insight and are already looking forward to next year!
GIRLS’ DAY is an offer for girls and young women who are about to choose a career; it introduces schoolgirls to the world of work and makes them aware of the wide range of career opportunities available to them. Girls and women are still severely underrepresented in apprenticeships and degree courses in the fields of mathematics, IT, natural sciences and technology (STEM) as well as skilled trades. And this is also noticeable in companies, as there is an increasing lack of qualified young talent in these areas. GIRLS’ DAY aims to encourage girls to take up professions in which the proportion of women is still low. Companies and educational institutions therefore open their doors on GIRLS’ DAY and give girls an insight into technical, manual and scientific professions. These professions of the future offer far greater income and career opportunities and therefore also more chances and development opportunities.
