I am A Woman and I am Capable

My name is Tsedan and I am 29 years old. I missed out on going to school because my parents thought that boys are more important than girls. Now that I have my own family, I want my three children to be able to go to school – an opportunity that I didn’t have. Neither my husband nor me have any education so we rely on odd jobs that my husband can find.

I consider myself very lucky that I was able to join the Husky Energy (now a member of the Cenovus group of companies) Tailoring Skills program in 2020. I like to do well and I worked hard to get my highest score of 98! I have new confidence in my ability to earn a steady income for my family. Being a woman, I never thought this would be possible. Now, I value my job and am proud that I can provide for my children’s future.

Thank you Husky for funding this program.
