Germany / Education

27 April 2023

The German Branch in Ratingen opened in 2023 its doors for the Girls' Day to present its products and solutions in more detail and offered the girls an exciting insight into the world of Mitsubishi Electric under the motto 'FUTURE HEROES'. Of course, they were also allowed to try their hand at programming a robot and at the manual workstation.

Girls' Day is a nationwide orientation day for girls to find out about careers and studies. It is sponsored by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. On Girls' Day, girls get to know professions or study subjects in which the proportion of women is below 40 percent, e.g. in the fields of IT, trades, natural sciences and technology. Or they meet female role models in leading positions in business and politics.

In addition, Girls' Day supports the cliche-free initiative for career and study choices free from gender stereotypes. The aim of the initiative is to establish a career and study choice free of gender stereotypes throughout Germany including the responsible federal ministries, the Federal Employment Agency, social partners and representatives from the federal states, science, practice and business.
