WOMEN OF COLOR

SCHOLARSHIP

As per McKinsey & Co.’s statistics on Women in the Workplace, women leaders are showing up as active allies to women of color, including networking, mentoring, or sponsorship support. And yet, women of color continue to lose ground at every step in the pipeline. Between the entry-level and the C-suite, their representation drops off by more than 75 percent.

WNORTH exists to help diverse break through barriers to senior executive leadership.

NEWCOMERS

SCHOLARSHIP

Women Newcomers to Canada face barriers to moving toward senior leadership, and experiencing career setbacks. From the first point of entry and challenges such as lack of Canadian-market experience, education, or inclusion challenges.

Canada attracts the brightest and the smartest through its points-based immigration system.

WNORTH strives to make sure their talents are recognized and they are given an equal opportunity to thrive.
