Deadhead, huh? I think someone took you too literally:
StarBase Opens Doors For ``Take Our Daughters to Work Day''; Introducing Future
Leaders To Opportunities in New Technology
Business Editors
SANTA ANA, Calif.,--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2000--StarBase
Corp. (Nasdaq: SBAS), a leading provider of eCollaboration solutions
for the development and management of eBusiness applications, today
announced their participation in Ms. Foundation's "Take Our Daughters
to Work Day" program, observed this year on Thursday, April 27. Girls
visiting the company will participate in various activities aimed at
introducing the varied career opportunities available to them, as well
as fostering a positive self-image.
Included in the day's activities is the creation of a mock
software product launch, from design to fulfillment. Each girl will
choose her "software" product, and then using available Internet
resources and the advice and encouragement of the related management
teams, the girls will design product packaging, develop the
advertising and marketing message, and ultimately sell the finished
product to their "sponsor" market.
"We know that girls need more opportunities to learn about
computers and the growing technology industry. With 19 million girls
involved in Take Our Daughters To Work(R) Day, the program is a great
way to show girls the practical applications of technology," said
Marie C. Wilson, president of the Ms. Foundation for Women.
"Take Our Daughters to Work Day," launched by the Ms. Foundation
in 1993, encourages the potential of young women (ages 9-15) by
inviting family members, friends, and sponsors to bring them to work
to learn about the vast array of career choices available to women and
the variety of ways that they can contribute to society. The positive
benefits of the program for girls include boosting girls'
self-confidence and self-esteem, exposure to different opportunities
in the business world, and exposure to non-traditional careers.
"This program gives us an opportunity to provide important
mentoring to today's young women, while introducing new technology and
the career possibilities available to them in the future" stated
William Stow, CEO at StarBase. "The girls of tomorrow still need
programs like Take Our Daughters To Work Day to expand their horizons
and help them remain strong, confident, and bold."
In addition to the product launch workshop, participants will have
an opportunity to take part in other activities at StarBase:
-- Taking a career interest survey designed to open teen's eyes to
all the possibilities ahead of them by helping them see how
their core personality traits may fit the demands of a
particular field.
-- Creation of a "goal" box designed to encourage the development
of and focus, on setting and reaching goals.
-- Interviewing women at StarBase to determine what is involved
in their particular job function.
-- To end the day, the girls will shadow their sponsors,
receiving first hand knowledge of the contribution and
commitment they can make in their career choices.
