What is the MoMBA™?
The MoMBA (mom MBA) is a 12-month skill- and competency-building program for successful, educated caregivers working in competitive, STEM/STEAM fields. It is designed to solve the major energy management, career, work/life balance, relationship, productivity, and leadership challenges that families with careers face in the decade surrounding childbearing years. It is well-suited for those planning for, currently on, or having taken parental leave. A shorter version, the MoMBA mini, is available, too.
How do I apply?
The MoMBA program is by application only. You can get your manager's approval and apply for the MoMBA program before the application deadline.
Why now, why at CanmetENERGY?
We recognize that professionals face specific challenges related to the additional responsibilities of raising children.
We want to create an inclusive environment and support caregivers' careers to thrive and grow in these challenging years.

What clients are saying
“Being in this program has changed my life and the outlook I have on different aspects of it. I pushed to get in this program. I looked for funding because I was scared of finances. I pushed my way through, I think, four different funding models and like squeaked in at the last minute to get something my employer agreed to. I can't believe I am in this program. And I love it. And I am so excited to be here.”
