WHO ARE WE?
Emerging Women in Finance (EWIF) is a platform that seeks to introduce students to roles in finance, and embolden our members through inspiring networks of women in industry. We create influential touch-points for our members through events, network-building, and tailored workshops to accelerate personal development. Using career education and access to role models in the industry, our aim is to motivate young women to go after leadership roles in finance. By introducing students to finance early in their education journeys, EWIF will provide young women with the preparedness and confidence required to become future stars in the industry, and ultimately drive diversity and equality in finance.
THE STUDENTS
EWIF seeks to enroll and involve inquisitive women who are keen to learn about the finance industry and advance their career goals. Through the Future of Finance program, students will develop an influential network comprised of peers and professionals, a sincere growth mindset, as well as a better understanding of the occupational landscape to make well-informed career decisions

Emerging Women in Finance provides opportunities designed to accelerate young women’s career discovery processes. We offer networking and speaker events involving professionals, personal and professional development workshops, as well as a real-world chance to implement learnings in a boardroom format at EWIF Roundtables. We hope to leave students with the resources, relationships and inspiration to embark on challenging, yet fulfilling careers.
Students will be in a safe learning environment, where being wrong isn’t feared, but is instead viewed as an opportunity to grow. Everyone will be encouraged to share their thoughts during discussions, raise their hands during events, and engage with peers and our network of professionals in order to maximize their experience.
Leadership development will be a central component of the program. A key goal of Emerging Women in Finance is to provide young women with the soft skills, relationships, and confidence to on day seek out leadership roles within an organization.
