“We know only too well that there is a shortage of critical skills in Engineering and related technical fields in South Africa, especially among women, and we are seizing the opportunity provided by the University of Pretoria to encourage young girls to learn more about these fields”.
“Just as importantly, this initiative resonates with our own empowerment objectives. We invest heavily in programs that seek to build, develop and equip the youth to take advantage of the very many exciting opportunities that lie before them, and we hope that we can ignite a shared passion for the broadcasting industry during the seven-day program”.
