Improve Your Culture, Performance and Profitability

Diversity goes beyond gender. It extends to sexual orientation, age, new parents returning to the workforce, those with disabilities, new immigrants, and beyond. What are tech companies doing to be more inclusive and welcome diversity into their teams? How can you support diversity in your own organization?

New to Discovery Foundation in 2018, we partnered with 3 different organizations to conduct research aimed at identifying gaps in diversity in the B.C. technology sector and providing recommendations for improvement.

Discovery Foundation is now accepting applications for TEP 2019 from industry organizations, educational institutions, or similar who are experienced in offering educational programs to technology entrepreneurs. 

In partnership with BC Tech Association, the Discovery Foundation Aspire to Tech workshops will introduce women to a number of in-demand careers in tech while connecting them with accessible, actionable pathways and resources to land their first gig
