SheBiz
is a free day-long event for girls in grades 9 – 11 offering unique
access to business and STEM leaders, and exposure to diverse and
exciting career opportunities available to women in these fields.. Stats
Canada has reported that female high school students earn better grades
in STEM subjects than their male counterparts, but when we
look ahead females are underrepresented in these programs in university
and later the workforce. As an organization SheBiz is hoping to help
bridge this gap by providing young girls with information on careers in
business, science, technology and math before they make the big
decisions effecting their future education and career. SheBiz Victoria
will be held at St. Margaret’s School on November 17th, 2017. See Ms.
McNamee if interested!
