Cracking the Ceiling: Female-led Startups Get Unique Opportunity

The four-month initiative is a partnership between the DMZ at Ryerson University, the leading university-based tech incubator in North America, Scotiabank and Tangerine.

Here’s How To Turn Your Passion For STEM Into An Exciting Career

Leaving women out of the equation when it comes to science, math and innovation fields isn’t just unfair — it can deprive the economy of valuable insights, opinions and the potential for productivity growth. That’s why companies who cultivate an inclusive, female-empowered environment are vital to making STEM more accessible for women, thus creating a better, more productive world for everyone. One company that is stepping up to the plate in this department in a big way is Mars, Incorporated, a family-owned global pet care, confectionery and food business. Currently, women represent 42 percent of Mars’ talent pipeline globally, and their goal is to increase this by two percent each year.
