Bring Your Child to Work on Thursday

The fourth Thursday of April is Take Your Child To Work Day and lands on April 25 this year.

This is the 20th anniversary of Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day—as it is officially called. This year's theme is "work in progress." Click here to view a copy of the congressional resolution dedicating April 25 as Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day.

The program was developed to help girls and boys explore the many life choices that they have. More than 37 million children and adults participate in the day each year.

The Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board encourages employers to participate in Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day as part of its 7th annual Imagine! Career Week, being held from April 22-26.

Imagine! Career Week celebrates the diversity of career opportunities available in the Pittsburgh region and helps students consider a wide range of career fields.
