Understanding the Journey of Immigrant Women in STEMM
Immigrant women represent the majority ( > 52%) of Canada’s women-in-STEMM workforce.
Despite being the majority, they face disproportionate challenges resulting the worst outcomes in unemployment, under-employment, job match, and wage gap when compared to Canadian-born women and immigrant men
Immigrant women in STEMM are diverse, resilient, entrepreneurial, and one of the biggest untapped talent pools in Canada with the skill and drive to help solve current labour shortages in innovation sectors
Who is eligible?
Community and self-nominations are accepted for any person who self-identifies as a woman or non-binary person, is trained in a STEMM field, and is an immigrant citizen / newcomer / permanent resident / refugee to Canada, who:
Has demonstrated resilience, strength and innovation in their field
Has a proven track record of leadership and community service
Represents excellence in their work that paves the way for others to follow
