About the sponsor
Surrogate Technology Management operates globally but has greatly benefitted from strong ties with our local community. We value this connection and are seeking to give back in a manner consistent with who we are as a business. As a result, our goal is to strengthen the Nova Scotia IT industry. Our approach is to do this by partnering with the NSCC to identify and work with an IT student (in one of the programs noted) in order to assist that student in building technical and professional skills. We have noticed a lack of female participation in the IT sector and would like to help change that. We value initiative, leadership potential and communication skills as being essential for businesses of any kind.
