A day in IT at the Coroplast Group

Together with the young talents, we take a look at the "IT specialist" apprenticeship. The IT sector in particular is more often attributed to men than women and we want to change that! That's why we're giving the participants the chance to take a look inside the IT department and carry out small practical projects in order to arouse interest in this exciting field.

We will disassemble a computer into its individual parts together to get to know the components. The computer will then be reassembled. Technical understanding and dexterity can be put to the test here.
We can get creative with the "Scratch" program and program our own small functions.

What is Girls' Future Day?

Under the motto "Here you come!", schoolgirls from the 5th grade onwards can gain insights into STEM professions and meet female role models in leadership positions. The focus here is primarily on professions in which women make up less than 40% of the workforce.

Girls' Day is sponsored by the Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth and the Ministry of Education and Social Affairs and supports the "Klischeefrei" initiative.

The girls should be able to get an overview of their educational options, free of gender-specific job descriptions.
