About the Ambassador Program: 

ICTC’s Ambassador Program provides select employers with key tools to support women in their organization, for free! The program, specifically tailored to the challenges faced by women in tech roles in Canada’s digital economy, will help guide you to implement processes that support, attract, and retain women in your organization.   

The program is free and self-paced, allowing you to increase support for women according to your organization’s capacity and on your own time. 

The Ambassador Program is funded by the Government of Canada.
