International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🌍 Today, we celebrate #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience! At Schneider Electric, with Schneider Electric Foundation we'd like to highlight one of our successful projects aimed at inspiring girls to pursue careers in science. In partnership with CEFOM, a vocational training and maintenance center in Cameroon, we have been dedicated to improving the lives of young women through vocational technical training. Since 2016, we’ve been empowering the lives of young women and girls with our Youth Education & Entrepreneurship program We are excited to announce that we have extended our agreement with #CEFOM for an additional five-years, aiming to upskill 1,200 youth in energy-related fields 🤝 Unfortunately, young women in Northern Cameroon often face limited opportunities due to societal barriers. Through this partnership we strive to contribute towards empowering young women with skills and confidence to help them dismantle these barriers and steer them towards creating economic independence 💚 We are proud of the difference the Youth Impact Through Learning initiative is making for young women around the globe! #WomenInScience #YouthImpact #Empowerment #SHElectric #ImpactCompany Diane Le Goff Ravishka Jairam Marwa Hammad Odile NGO NGUIMBUS
