PRINCE GEORGE—Local CEO Cheryll Wagner is helping women entrepreneurs start in the technology industry as part of Discovery Foundation’s EM3 Program, presented by WeBC.

Wagner is the founder of Business2Mobile Communications Inc., a consulting and software development company. She is one of the thousands of women who have created, adopted and expanded different technologies across the province. The EM3 program aims to bring those women together for leadership training, networking and mentorship from more experienced CEOs.

“With technology as the fastest growing sector in BC, women in tech can particularly benefit from mentoring as a means to build confidence, enhance skills, and grow their network,” says Shauna Harper, CEO of WeBC.

Applications for the program are being accepted until July 14, and there are 32 spots available. WeBC encourages women business owners to apply even if they don’t consider themselves to be a ‘tech’ entrepreneur. Eligible businesses for the EM3 Program include companies working in communications, social media and eCommerce as well as health sciences, alternative energy, design and more.

“This program helps them create a peer network and tap into the investment, support and programs available for women working in this high-growth industry while gaining support and encouragement from like-minded women,” said Harper.
