uPLIFT: a brand new Reskilling Program in cambridge
Advancing employment opportunities in our community
YWCA Cambridge’s newest program Uplift Reskilling Program provides women and non-binary people the opportunity to reskill or upskill in the advanced manufacturing and specialized technology fields through certification training and additional supports related to job development and navigating traditionally male-dominated workplaces.
Uplift participants will have access to certification training with a provincially recognized institution. After certification, YWCA staff will assist participants to achieve better employment and to prepare their job skills through activities such as mock interviews and resume-building.
