The Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto has offered a Back to Work Program for Women in Business, targeted towards well educated women who have left their jobs to take care of their children at home. The Back to Work Program covers a range of topics including management skills and training in new online tools to help women get back into the game. The program also encourages networking and helps match candidates with potential mentors and employers.

This new program further improves the reputation UOFT has, because they are creating shared value. The program strengthens society by giving an opportunity for well educated women to put their knowledge into good use, and benefits the university itself, as they are gaining more money. As well, the standards of living in general will improve because unemployment rates will be lower. It will not be surprising if many universities look into offering programs similar to UOFT’s, because many women will want and need to have a refresher on various skills to get back into the workforce.
