Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day® is an international event celebrated by millions of students, parents, educators, and employers. In recent years, the event has grown to annually involve more than 44.5 million participants in the U.S. and in over 187 countries.
For next year’s event on April 22, 2021, we are planning to tap into technologies that have brought the world together during this time of increased isolation by offering a hybrid virtual option with both live and pre-recorded resources.
We are creating a program with content focused on children and their teachers to allow them to participate from school, home, or wherever they are. We are considering various options, including live speakers, videos showing different jobs, Q&A sessions, and interactive features.
We welcome engagement from companies and businesses that want to participate with sponsorship and workplace virtual tours. We also plan to provide resources for those companies that may be in a position to host in-person programs.
This new approach will allow us to reach more children no matter their location or access to their parents’ employers. As a result, we will be able stay true to our mission of creating more equitable opportunities for children to experience different workplaces and career options.
