STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Workshops for Girls:
Teknion hosted its first Take Our Girls to STEM day for Grade 6-8 students. Modeled on the Take Our Kids to Work day program, Teknion employees are invited to bring their Grade 6-8 daughters to our Head Office to introduce them to STEM programming, and to encourage them to study STEM subjects.
Recycling:
Our facilities bundle their cardboard and plastic production/packaging waste to reduce freight space and provide more opportunities to responsibly recycle waste.
