Young Women in Science, Technology and Trades Conference

In April, Durham College (DC) will once again host girls in Grades 7 and 8 from across Durham Region for a day of exploration and inspiration connecting them with careers in science, technology and skilled trades.

Students will attend a keynote presentation and participate in hands-on workshops across our campuses, led by DC faculty, employees, and industry sponsors, with the goal to help each girl better see themselves in the fields of science, technology, and trades.

Continue to check back regularly for updates on the keynote speakers, workshop descriptions, and more.
