One way of going about it is to work in partnerships. We have some projects in the works right now with our partners from the Table de concertation à Laval en condition féminine.
The first project will be to develop an inspirational booklet for women along the lines of “only the bold need apply”. It is being put together in the Laurentides region and is part of a collaborative process aimed at helping young women get into traditionally male-dominated fields.
The booklet will be distributed in our training centres and in organizations where women are engaged in non-traditional occupations.
This activity is being funded by a new project of the ministère de l'Éducation, des Loisirs et du Sport.
The second project is a play, and it is not just for students. It can also be for parents, for everyone. We are looking for solutions that will bring people together to make them more aware of the issues surrounding skilled labour and, especially, of opening the door to women.
