“It is our mission to inspire young women to invest in and aspire for STEM careers, especially those from underserved areas who may not have access to all necessary resources”
- STEMing UP Program was developed in 2018 based on the needs identified by former program participants who were looking for programs that will strategically introduce them to career opportunities in STEM and business fields. In 2020 we served 30 young women in the program and pivoted to virtual learning due to COVID-19.
- Graduate students in this program gained major technological and business skills supporting them to successfully integrate in university courses such as Business and Technology at Ryerson University, Computer Science at Carleton University, University of Toronto and York University and acceptance in programs such as Shopify’s Dev Degree. Furthermore, students in this program gained employment and paid internships in distinguished institutions such as Shopify, BMO and RBC to name a few.
