With these disappointing statistics, it is the mission of WISE to support and encourage women who are interested in the areas of science and engineering careers.

 

Classically, women are underrepresented in these fields and it is the mission of WISE to support and promote women in the fields of science and engineering. It is our belief that knowledge is power and thus informing the next generation of the many opportunities available to them is the first step in rectifying this problem. Luckily, ConocoPhillips Canada feels the same way, leading to the formation of this once in a lifetime event for high school girls.

 

On March 12, 2015, the female future of our industry will be able to gain insight into the many career opportunities in science and engineering in our energy sector from the present female workforce. These girls will hear about the exciting careers in the energy sector in the areas of science and engineering from women currently in those positions. Not only will there be informative presentations and interactive stations, but also the opportunity for the girls to network and ask questions of these industry professionals providing role models and mentors for their future.
