iSisters Technology Mentoring Inc. develops mentoring partnerships with community organizations to empower women in need through technology. Its Tungasuvvingat Inuit Technology Mentoring Program helps unemployed and underemployed Inuit women improve their career skills and find jobs through technology training. A key element of its success, and impact, is the long-term sustainability of the program and resources, which are transferred to the partnering organization at the end of the project.
The program recognizes the unique needs of Inuit women and their community by offering a flexible, targeted and supportive approach to technology training. The success of the project has resulted in new opportunities for learning, skill development and employment for the participants; new technology and program management skills and resources for the partnering organization; and a new technology, job skills and employment resource for the community.
