PA-4: Diversity and Equity Coordination

The students services goal: That students may fully develop their potentiel and that their experience at ÉTS be successful at every level. Its Function: Suggest rewarding and dynamic acitivities to students, offer them possibilities to engage in the campus life, offer multiples tools to support and accompany them so they can meet their study goals. The ÉTS Effect is an initiative whose main goal is to make ÉTS the preferred school for women in engineering. We have a target to receive 30% of women from all cycles by 2030, as did Engineers Canada, which launched this campaign. The main goal is to create an inclusive and safe environment where women, whether students, teachers, employees or managers, feel comfortable and in the right place to grow. The program has objectives such as hiring female professors to serve as role models, leading by example by increasing the number of female executives and ensuring the engagement of the male ÉTS workforce. A student groupment called Integrale ETS represent LGBTQ+. The groupment wishes to bring awareness to the ÉTS community on the different sexual orientations, gender and love identities.
