Article: Where are the women? B.C. task force looks at gender imbalance in engineering

APEGBC’s Women in Engineering and Geoscience Task Force recently released their recommendations for increasing gender diversity in engineering and geoscience.

“One of the suggestions was that engineering bodies such as Engineers Canada, Geoscientists Canada and ACEC should coordinate their efforts and lobby the federal government to change the employment insurance provisions so that benefits are not clawed back when individuals do part-time work while on parental leave.”

Please read the full article, including the panel’s recommendations here.
