YWCA Hamilton Uplift Future Vision Program
The YWCA Hamilton Uplift Future Vision Program provides women and non-binary individuals the opportunity to reskill or upskill in specialized technology fields through certification training, and provides additional supports related to career development and navigating non-traditional workplaces.
Programs are delivered online on a part-time basis. Each program has it’s own learning schedule.

Program Background
Since early 2021, nineteen cohorts involving nearly 700 participants have leveraged this opportunity through YWCA partner organizations across Southern and Eastern Ontario. 86% of participants have made a career transition while in the program or shortly after completion. Participants are enrolled in tailored certification programs at accredited Ontario universities and colleges where they gain job-related technical skills and develop professional competencies, leading to a certificate of completion and/or micro-credentials. Skills training is provided alongside wraparound supports and career development.
