Women Unlimited started 10 years ago, so we've been in operation for a decade now. We had a very successful program right across the province at four community colleges. The 650 women who had participated over that time participated in those programs.
To your point about the percentage of women in college-level programs, one thing that we did in the very beginning was build the program with industry and education. We didn't, as a women's organization, create a program and then ask for funding. We actually built it for a year with industry. We recognized that when women finished our 14-week career exploration program, they might not have a seat in the college. One of the deals in our program was that the Nova Scotia Community College would guarantee a seat for every woman who graduated from our career exploration program in any trades or technology program at any of the 13 campuses across the country. That has stood for 10 years. They continue to do that. That is huge. If there are wait-lists, they still are guaranteed a seat.
The number of diverse women within their trades and technology programs has increased from a low of 6% to 7% to a high of 17% to 18% in that 10-year period because of their investment, and that was critical.
