The WinSETT Centre has been offering our Online Leadership Skill Building sessions to participants from all across Canada since the fall of 2020. Participants have rated these sessions highly, especially when it comes to our skilled facilitators, interactivity, and having met expectations.
“This was a fantastic course – one that all young women should take when starting off their careers. I was extremely impressed and will recommend this to other women in my network.”

What can you expect from a WinSETT Online Leadership Skill Builder?
Leadership Skill Builders are “slices” of our in person workshops and are open to all genders. They are 90-minutes, online and built on the following principles:
- Live Delivery: a WinSETT facilitator and moderator are both online to deliver the content, encourage the discussion, and respond to questions. All Skill Builders are facilitated over the Zoom platform.
- Adult Learning: all Skill Builders are structured to meet the needs of Adult Learners, with in-depth pre-session and post-session materials to prepare and complete the learning experience.
- Interactive: participation is limited to 35 registrants to ensure maximum interaction. We utilize breakout rooms, collaborative documents, polls, and other interactive tools.
- A Safe Learning Environment: our Skill Builders are never recorded, only registered participants can enter, and the moderator will remove anyone behaving inappropriately.
- Professionally Facilitated. WinSETT has nine facilitators across the country. They are engineers, scientists, educators, coaches, and technologists and passionate about providing leadership learning opportunities to women in SETT.
- Professionally organized: session materials and online platform instructions sent in advance, reminders to registrants sent with clear instructions on how and when to join and what to expect in session, and all sessions are evaluated.
- Provide networking opportunities: participants are from all over Canada get to know each other in the breakout rooms, all participants are invited to follow us on social media and join our mailing list for other events, newsletters, etc.

Many educational institutions, non-profit, and for-profit companies opt to purchase seats in bulk for their members to enable each of their members to select the content and timing that suits them best. Contact leadership@winsett.ca to discuss enacting this option for your organization.
“I see the need to have these workshops online so that more people in remote places can take the session together. We all learn from each other and consequently build a stronger community! Absolutely well done!!!”

- The program really did create a sense of comradery among those involved
- Getting to know a group of women with the same background and hearing their stories aid in feeling that we are not alone in our careers, it’s empowering!
- Learning about the different leadership and communication styles provided the tools to navigate, with more confidence, through difficult conversations
- Gave me a new perspective on how important it is to be part of employee resources groups.”
