why girls' day?
Despite the high demand for technical talent, only 14% of technical professionals are women. This is due to gender stereotyping, limited perception of technical courses and professions, low self-confidence in science subjects and lack of role models.
By contrast, STEM and IT are more important than ever for society. This is precisely why we organise Girls' Day: a day to show that engineering is also (and just as well) for girls.
Girls' Day makes a difference - by improving the system, not the girls themselves. After all, they are just right the way they are.
more information and/or register?
During the company visit, the girls follow a programme that includes a short introduction to the company, a tour or demonstration, introductions to (female) professionals and hands-on working on a fun do-activity.
Want to sign up for this cool day? Or would you like to participate as a company and open your doors to the technicians of the future? Go to the VHTO website, or contact Danielle using the details below.
