Working in co-operation with the Congress of Traditional Leaders of South Africa (CONTRALESA), Cell C started the Career Choice Expo in 2007 to extend the success of Take a Girl Child to Work Day® into rural areas. The project was targeted at Grade 9 to 12 boy and girl learners with limited access to information about available career opportunities.
The Career Choice Expo provided learners and educators with information on various careers, learning opportunities and financial resources available at various companies, government departments and institutions.
The success of the project was largely due to the participation of its public and private sector partners and the numbers speak for themselves

21470 Grade 9 to 12 learners were reached by the Expo
