Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Ghana, Patricia Obo-Nai, has urged girls involved in the study of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to avail themselves of regular internships and identify professional role models in order to gain maximum value from their education and attain career success.
According to her, the study of STEM without a hands-on experience such as internships is meaningless. She averred that regular practice, as well as appropriate guidance and mentorship, are pre-requisites for successful STEM careers.
“While learning STEM, try to connect the classroom to the practical world in order to place your learnings into a real-world context. Personally, by being curious and taking a keen interest in internships, I learnt a lot while in school” she said.
