Through our Uplift program, participants built skills while building confidence through professional training 🔨👍.

YWCA Cambridge’s Uplift program provided women and gender-diverse individuals the opportunity to reskill or upskill in specialized technology fields through certification training, as well as support with job development and navigating traditionally male-dominated workplaces.

Funding for this program was not renewed, but we continue working with our Ontario YWCA partners to secure new funding so we can revive this truly life-changing program.
