Women in Trades and Technology (WITT) at SAIT
SAIT's Women in Trades and Technology (WITT) Committee wants to enhance and promote women in our trades and technology programs and provide them with all the resources, tools, and training they need to accomplish their goals.
Throughout the month of March, the Library has a photographic display which shows some of the contributions that our female students have made to the workforce in historic and modern times.
