“The Cultural Understanding and Empowering Women in IT program, is a great program that equips internationally trained IT professionals with various learning and development opportunities. It is like a “resources HUB” for civic participation, integration, networking and mentorship. It also addresses the barriers that professional newcomer women face and provides them with several enablers to overcome them. I highly recommend the program as a great tool for information on professional and career development!”

“I strongly recommend the Cultural Understanding and Empowering Women in IT (#cueWIT) program for all newcomer women in technology fields, who desire to understand employment expectations in a Canadian context. If you’re a woman in tech, and you want to boost your career prospects, this program is for you. This extraordinarily resourced program will provide you with essential coaching and training from industry leaders in IT and the key to securing a great job. The women I’ve met in the 2 cohorts have brought their remarkable expertise to Canada, and with this program, will learn how to showcase their global experiences and leverage their skills to benefit themselves, their families, and Canadian society.”

“As a seasoned Career Coach and Career Mentor I have witnessed an incredible transformation of the #cueWIT participant’s Professional Introduction, usually from a simple introduction to a more vibrant and passionate one! As they discuss their skills and achievements with confidence! Helping these female IT Professionals with creating statements of what they can offer a potential employer and how they can make a difference in their future career destination has led to a more natural ability in selling their skills to meet organizational needs. I am proud to take such clients through their career journey with the end result of landing their dream job! What a unique and fantastic program that makes a difference in professional women’s lives!”
