WiHI Success Stories
“I was recently promoted to Senior Project Manager because of the training I was able to take due to support from the OBIO® WiHI Career Advancement Grant.”
“The WiHI training and wage subsidy program has been incredibly impactful. Not only did the wage subsidy allow Vessl to focus our early-stage funding on product development, it also empowered me to focus full time on my business with sufficient salary to support my living expenses.”
A participant of Canada’s 50 – 30 Challenge program from Innovation, Science and Economic Development, OBIO® programs support diversity in the workplace.
