Women
Over the past several years, many events have been planned specifically for women with regard to career exploration and job search strategies. CaPS, in partnership with the Centre for Research and Teaching on Women (MCRTW), organizes a yearly panel discussion on women and careers. Past panels have included 鈥淲omen in Science鈥� and 鈥淢uslim Women at Work: The Challenges and Successes.鈥� CaPS also provides targeted workshops as a part of MCRTW鈥檚 Women and Leadership program in the fall.
