Take a Girl Child/Student to Work

As one of its CSR initiatives, Rosaab International in partnership with the South African embassy in Lagos, initiated the ‘Take a Girl Child/Student to Work’ project to commemorate the country’s annual Women’s Day celebrations.

The project sought to provide exposure to female students of various institutions of higher learning to the realities of the corporate workplace

The goals of Take a Girl Child/Student to Work project include:

• To impact the society and serve as a Corporate Social Responsibility project for Rosaab International
• To attract young and dynamic entrants for potential job offers in the future
• Exposure of these female students to diverse careers and practices as well as to offer to them positive role models that will help prepare them for their prospective careers

The project also sought to and indeed achieved the following:

• Address the myriad challenges faced by young professional women. This was achieved by exposing the students to the work environment, which led to them having hands-on experience and unveiling the different career options available in the marketplace, which was an empowering experience for the girls. 
• Give the girl-child an awareness of the boundless opportunities that exist in the society, enhance her self-esteem, inspire and motivate her to reach her full potential.
• Exposure of these students to diverse careers and practices as well as to offer positive role models that will help prepare them for their prospective careers.
• Fight the menace of women’s career underdevelopment in the industry.
• Highlight the benevolence and commitment of participating companies to making a difference in issues or challenges faced by women.
• Ensure our developmental outreach covers women in all spheres of society.

As a result of the success recorded at the maiden edition of Take a Girl Child/Student to Work, we decided to make it a regular event which would allow more corporate organizations and higher institutions to become a part of it and expand its reach for a bigger impact.
