The CLC x FITC Diversity Scholarship Program
FITC & Diversity & Inclusivity
We believe that digital skills are essential tools for participation and opportunity. Our goal is to ensure that all people in Canada— particularly cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, as well as Black, Indigenous and Racialized people, newcomers, and people from low-income communities—who have historically been and continue to be underrepresented in the tech sector and in tech-enabled roles, have equitable access to shape the future.
What is the Canada Learning Code Diversity Scholarship Program?
This scholarship program is aimed at underrepresented groups to attend the upcoming FITC Toronto 2025 conference, an in-person & online event happening on April 28-29, 2025. The program consists of complimentary tickets to the event.
- All applicants must agree to follow our code of conduct.
- This program is aimed at those who are unable to secure a ticket through their company, or unable to afford a ticket themselves. We ask that if you or your company is able to purchase a ticket, please do so to avoid taking a spot from someone who can’t.
At Canada Learning Code, we believe that digital skills are tools of empowerment. The world is changing, and we want Canada to be ready. We’re here to make sure that all people in Canada have access to the knowledge they need to prosper in our digital world.
Our programs are designed in a way that seek to explicitly welcome those who have historically been and continue to be marginalized and underrepresented in tech, with a focus on cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity as well as Black, Indigenous and other Racialized people, people in low-income communities, and newcomers.
