Advancing Career Opportunities for Indigenous Women – Trans Mountain

In recognition of International Women’s Day, Trans Mountain is excited to share how it is advancing career opportunities for Indigenous women along our pipeline corridor. #choosetochallenge

In October 2020, Trans Mountain launched a Project Management Extension Certificate program for Indigenous women from communities along the pipeline corridor.

This one-year virtual program – offered through Mount Royal University in Calgary – was created as a result of high interest expressed by women who were keen on developing their project management skills to support their current careers and advance their knowledge. The program provides transferrable skills training that can be implemented in diverse areas such as new construction, environmental remediation, infrastructure projects, and more. Participants also have the valuable opportunity to work with a mentor to support their career development and networking circles.
