Seeking education, community service or voluntary work

Women and work

Are you a girl and are you defining your path towards your future job?

If you are a young woman grappling with the choice of your school, university or voluntary/active citizenship path, here are some indications to guide you in this decision.

It is essential to make these choices with awareness, because the course of study and the voluntary and/or active citizenship experiences you undertake may influence, to a greater or lesser extent, your professional future.

Below are some hints to help you choose the path that is most suitable for you.

School and university orientation

Choosing a school or university by evaluating aptitudes, passions and job opportunities is a crucial stage in a student's life. Girls often tend to choose humanistic paths, areas that are fundamental to culture and society. However, it is important to know that there are also other paths, such as science and technology (STEM), which offer many opportunities.

At this stage of choice, therefore, remember that although science (STEM) studies are often chosen by boys, nothing prevents girls from excelling in these disciplines. In fact, studies show that they achieve equal or superior results, but often lose confidence during middle and/or high school, mistakenly believing that these disciplines are more suitable for boys. With interest, passion and determination, you can tackle these studies successfully and seize the many opportunities!
