Programme d'accélération des compétences des nouveaux arrivants d'ICC s'est associé à des organisations à travers le Canada pour donner aux bénévoles la possibilité de se mettre au défi et d'améliorer leurs compétences dans les lieux de travail canadiens. Et grâce au travail acharné de nos bénévoles, nous avons la chance de continuer à développer ce programme.

À la découverte de la volonté de faire du bénévolat

Sumayya’s motivation to volunteer with the Women Cyber Security Society stemmed from her deep desire to make a positive impact in her community. She sought a sense of purpose and fulfillment in life, and volunteering turns out to be the perfect opportunity for her to pursue these goals. Additionally, her desire to learn new skills and gain valuable experiences played a huge role in this decision.

Pendant son mandat bénévole, Sumayya a assumé le rôle de stratège en marketing des médias sociaux. Elle a créé du contenu attrayant pour des publics spécifiques sur diverses plateformes et a appris à élaborer différentes stratégies. Ces plans pourraient alors être mesurés en fonction de leur efficacité. Son parcours ne consistait pas seulement à redonner. Mais aussi poursuivre le développement de compétences dans un domaine d’intérêt spécifique qui peut désormais être ajouté à son CV.

What really resonated with Sumayya was the mission at the Women Cyber Security Society. As a passionate advocate for gender equality in STEM fields, she found a connection with the organization’s commitment to empowering women in cybersecurity. The dedication to highlight the unique challenges faced by women in a male-dominated industry aligned with her own beliefs. Highlighting these obstacles allows each person who faces them understanding that they are not alone and potentially even advice for the future.
