The Lise Watier Foundation is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Option Femmes to offer the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Gatineau.
Through this new partnership, women in Gatineau and the surrounding area will gain access to concrete support designed to help them develop their professional potential and build lasting financial independence.
A partnership serving women in the region
Deeply rooted in the community, Option Femmes has been supporting women for many years in their integration into and retention in the workforce through a human-centred and personalized approach.
By joining forces, the Lise Watier Foundation and Option Femmes aim to strengthen the support available to women experiencing economic, social, or professional vulnerability. While Option Femmes guides women in their employability journey, the Let’s Start Up Pathway of the Lise Watier Foundation complements this support through skills development, entrepreneurship, returning to education, and financial independence.
Practical tools to take action
Through the Let’s Start Up Pathway, women in the region will have access to practical tools that help them take action, build confidence in their abilities, realize their full potential, and develop a transformative professional project.
Already, several women have registered for the program and can attest to the profoundly transformative impact of Let’s Start Up Pathway in their lives, both professionally and personally.
A rollout made possible through the commitment of our partners
The launch of the Let’s Start Up Pathway in Gatineau reflects the Lise Watier Foundation’s commitment to expanding access to its programs and supporting more women on their journey toward financial independence.
This regional expansion has been made possible thanks to the generosity of our donors and committed partners, including the Lise and Giuseppe Racanelli Foundation, whose support helps foster the development and potential of women.
