Accsys encourages women in technology

As part of the annual Cell C Bring a Girl Child to Work initiative, held in May 2013, Accsys hosted learners at its premises. Its executive management used the opportunity to emphasise the importance of technology in people development and career building.

The company is a regular contributor to the initiative, hosting Grade 11 and 12 learners from Wendywood and Alexandra High Schools.

The learners were given a guided tour through the offices, involving presentations by key personnel and were given opportunity to engage with department leaders to better understand its operations.

Departments covered included support, development and administration, which incorporate everything from front-desk operations right through to training, research and finance.

"The idea is that the learner will walk away from the experience with first-hand knowledge of a business environment at a progressive, leading company. This helps them at a time when they are considering what to do with their lives after acquiring their education. We also underline the fact that they needn't stop learning when they complete their schooling - training and internships at companies are a sure way to gain valuable experience and continue the education process," says Teryl Schroenn, CEO of Accsys.
