Stemettes partnered with TD Securities on the 15th of October, inviting 25 school girls on a tour of the TD Securities office and a panel of role models. Attendees were matched with a TD Securities role model in a speed networking layout, where they asked questions about STEM careers. Amazing women in STEM.
