The Lambton College Women in Technology & Trades (WiTT) group aims to empower women by creating a supportive and industry-connected community where women can pursue their interests, education, and careers in technology and trades.
Our commitment to empowering women in technology and trades aims to foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our programs are designed to break down barriers and provide the skills, mentorship, and supports needed to excel in the field of technology and trades.
When women have equal opportunities in the workforce, economies thrive. We need more women in non-traditional fields, like carpentry, because when women are in these workforces it not only promotes gender equality but also drives economic growth and innovation

Erynne Mee Professor & Program Coordinator (QEMS, AMMS)
I have been very lucky in my life to be surrounded by role models who demonstrate outstanding character and integrity. My hope is to help prepare the next generation of women in STEM to pursue their goals. My corporate career path in quality manufacturing is both a challenging and an empowering experience. I learned to navigate a landscape that has historically been dominated by men by overcoming biases.
Through this perseverance, I have had the opportunity to lead development teams, improve products, and create more efficient management systems. I believe that women in leadership roles bring diverse perspectives and innovative solutions which are crucial for modern, dynamic workplaces.
