CCWESTT - Canadaian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology

Women in STEM and Trades, intersectionality, gender equity

Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology (CCWESTT) is a national volunteer coalition of organizations and individuals who champion a gender-equitable, diverse, and inclusive Canadian SETT (Science, Engineering, Trades and Technology) sector. Established in 1992, we collectively support over 500,000 people in our network by building alliances and partnerships, acting as a resource hub, and advocating with a strong, unified voice. The long history of the Coalition's shared core values, collaborative efforts, and significant regional and national activities of member groups have provided a firm base from which CCWESTT has built a national voice for women in SETT to change, build, and lead policy development and practice for a diverse workforce. By tapping into the insights and experiences of our network of women and organizations, CCWESTT brings a gendered lens to all projects to chart a more successful pathway to increasing the attraction, retention, and promotion of women in SETT, founded upon achieving real change in male-dominated workplace culture.
