Mission Statement
Through collaboration and partnership, the WinSETT Centre creates and fosters opportunities that encourage women to enter, stay, grow and lead in science, engineering, trades and technology careers.
About This Cause
The WinSETT Centre takes a national focus on advocating for women’s full inclusion in science, engineering, trades and technology workplaces and fosters links between academia, industry, governments, associations, unions and non‐governmental organizations. The WinSETT Centre creates and fosters opportunities to advance women’s leadership in the technically skilled workforce by: • Delivering workshops to support the retention and advance the leadership of women in science, engineering, trades and technology fields, creating a positive culture for women in the workplace; • Partnering on specific projects with like‐minded organizations such as the Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology (CCWESTT) member groups, universities, professional associations and governments on projects to improve the participation of women in SETT careers; and • Promoting and celebrating the leadership of women in science, engineering, trades and technology organizations and as role models and mentors. The WinSETT Centre delivers high value workshops as part of its Women in SETT Leadership Program to provide women with the skills to grow, advance and lead in SETT careers.
