Young Women's Conferences
You’re invited…
Since 1999, Skills Ontario is proud to host the award-winning Young Women’s Conferences. These conferences, held in conjunction with Skills Ontario Competition, are dedicated to showing female students that skilled trades and technologies careers offer many great opportunities. In a friendly, casual environment, students are able to explore career options and practice their networking skills as they meet women who work in skilled trades and technologies industries. These mentors discuss the rewards of their chosen career paths and provide advice, guidance and inspiration. The agenda also includes hands-on activities, and a self-guided tour of the Skills Ontario Competition at the Toronto Congress Centre. Please consider joining us!
