TechConnect
Connect with tech education and employment supports.
TechConnect is a series of three events offered by WRDC highlighting opportunities in the tech sector, including information about (and connections to) supports, education, and employment.
WRDC will partner with industry, education, and community stakeholders to coordinate and deliver sessions for women at various stages in their technology careers. Sessions will serve as an information hub where women can be linked to existing services, resources, post-secondary programs, and employment opportunities, and can also network with other women and stakeholders in their region.
