Women in IT Event - We can handle IT!

Concertia Technologies Inc is pleased to be a silver sponsor of the second annual We can handle IT! event being held at Mount Saint Vincent University on May 15th, 2003.

Held in conjunction with the annual National Women in IT event, We can handle IT! is a one-day session, sponsored by CIPS Bluenose, which aims to educate young women on the wide variety of career opportunities in Information Technology, and to encourage their enrolment in math and sciences.

Over 200 grade nine girls and their chaperones, representing every school board across the province of Nova Scotia, attended this event in 2002.

Concertia gets involved in the local community through employee volunteer initiatives and events such as the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's CIBC Run for the Cure, the United Way's Annual Giving Campaign and the We can handle IT! event at Mount Saint Vincent University. Concertia also helps support children's sports through Metro Karate's Annual Concertia Cup.
