Women

There is a lack of representation of Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) women and 2SLGBTQ+ peoples in the games development industry. Marginalized communities need specific skills to succeed in this burgeoning sector of the economy. 

This program offered online courses that covered technical and social-emotional skills for different groups of workers. It also provided support and resources to employers and participants.

The project aimed to advance gender equity in the Canadian labour market and address the unique challenges women and equity-deserving groups face in accessing gainful employment.

Even before the increased demand brought on by the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care agreements, early childhood educators (ECEs) were increasingly being called on to obtain more skills and credentials, without a parallel increase in wages, benefits, or improvements in working conditions.

Career Trek launched the “M-Power North” Program to support young mothers between the ages of 15 and 25 in Northern Manitoba. The program provides hands-on, experiential lessons, spanning a number of sectors including trades, technology, natural resources, STEM and healthcare.
