PepsiCo Egypt celebrates the graduation of the first class of “She Works Wonders” program and honors the 50 participants who reached the final stage

Cairo: PepsiCo Egypt held a graduation ceremony for the first graduating class of the “She Works Wonders" program, during which it honored 50 participants who reached the final stage and will then enroll them in an internship program at PepsiCo, with a full-time employment opportunity for those who excel.

The program was launched last March, under the auspices of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, in cooperation with Injaz Egypt, and funded by the PepsiCo Foundation, with the aim of changing the narrative of female employability in the private sector and increasing their representation in male-dominated jobs such as sales and supply chain.

The closing event was attended by Mr. Mohamed Shelbaya, CEO of PepsiCo Egypt, Mr. Ronald Schellekens, PepsiCo Global Chief Human Resources Officer, Dina El Mofty, Founder of INJAZ Egypt, and Nelly Karim, Egyptian actress, and the Program’s Ambassador, among other program ambassadors and in addition to a number of representatives from the business community, and public figures.

Mr. Mohamed Shelbaya, CEO of PepsiCo Egypt, stated: “I am proud to be celebrating our efforts and the participants’ hard work in the “She Works Wonders” program, which is considered a breakthrough in our long journey of supporting and empowering women.
