The Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day® campaign will take place on May 28.
This is the 13th time the initiative is set to happen.
It was originally scheduled for June, this year, but the organisers have changed the date so as not to conflict with any examination timetables.
Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day® 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.
More than 50 000 young girls will take part this year, with hundreds of companies around the country opening their doors to them.
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® campaign.
By showing their support of Cell C’s 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.
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.
Companies who wish to host a group of girls on May 28 should register online at www.cellc.co.za/girlchild.
