Girls'Day – Future Prospects for Girls

Every year technical enterprises, enterprises with technical departments and technical training facilities, universities, and research centres are invited to organise an open day for girls – Girls'Day. Girls'Day – 'Future Prospects for Girls' initiated a large campaign in which a wide range of professions and activities is presented to girls of 10 years upwards. The vocational choices of girls are influenced in a very positive way. For companies, Girls'Day has evolved as an important instrument of their recruitment policy.

Girls'Day encourages the surroundings of the young women – i.e. families, school, media and employers – to participate in the campaign and change their common attitudes towards vocational orientation. Information material, an all-embracing interactive website and an individual advisory service provide support for all target groups. The campaign includes a scientific evaluation.

Due to the nationwide focus and the uniform date, Girls'Day concentrates regional limited individual initiatives and achieves a unique broad effect. It is considered the largest career orientation project for female students. Girls'Day – 'Future Prospects for Girls' is funded by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.

Network

  • Companies and organizations are participating with around 10,000 events annually for about 1.9 million girls yet.
  • A network of more than 340 Girls'Day working groups – regional alliances of assets from chambers, employer associations, trade unions, equality bodies, employment agencies and many other facilities – is committed to the girls' future.

Girls'Day is effective

In recent years there has been a significant increase in female professionals in technical fields. Now the growth in employment of women is stronger than that of men in almost all scientific and technical professions.

Scientific evaluation

More than 96 percent of the girls assess Girls'Day as 'good' or 'very good'. 70 percent got to know professions on Girls'Day in which they are interested. 38 percent of the girls can imagine working in the field they got to know on Girls'Day.

On Girls'Day 38 percent of the participating organisations get enquiries for internships and apprenticeships. For more than one in five companies these lead to an employment of female candidates. 

The evaluation shows an opening for gender-specific aspects of vocational orientation and an increased awareness of gender mainstreaming in companies and schools which have taken part several times. Girls'Day has a positive influence on the image of technology related professions and yields realistic estimations on behalf of employment outlook, job contents, and basic conditions Scientific publication of evaluation results and further publications in form of scientific papers.

Media resonance

Each year an average of 3,500 detailed reports in print, 6,350 online media products, more than 250 television and 200 radio articles about the Girls'Day are counted. A media equivalent value of EUR 11,7 million was achieved in print.
