The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) is the lead partner for OSPE’s Breaking Barriers project. Here is why their former CEO David Thomson supports and promotes DiversifySTEM:

“Engineering technicians and technologists have exciting, challenging and well-paying careers. In fact, employment in this occupational group has strongly outpaced overall employment for Canada over the past 15 years.  However, women are significantly underrepresented in STEM careers, with only 9% employed in the profession.  OACETT fully supports all efforts to reduce the barriers and provide information to women considering, careers in engineering technology.”
