It's a project submitted by the WinSETT Centre, which was created following a previous project when we had identified the need for a centre that specifically targets the issue of women in non-traditional jobs. The program will create complementary modules that will be integrated into local businesses.
So, rather than work only with women, we are using an approach that is a little more integrated to create partnerships with specific employers who have been involved since the beginning and who want to help women advance in non-traditional occupations in technology, engineering, and so on.
The interesting strength of this approach is that you don't work in isolation. We mentioned it earlier: despite the interest women have in working in non-traditional occupations, it is often difficult for them to stay in that setting. So, by creating a framework that will give them the support they need, among themselves but also within the companies, we hope to have more success in keeping them in those jobs. The group is asking us for relatively little money for this project, as you can see by reading the news release. They asked us for less than $200,000 for a project worth close to $1 million. The reason why it can ask us for so little money is that it has established very good partnerships with other organizations that also provide funding.
We find it reassuring because it shows that there is a strong probability that this project will continue when we are no longer a source of funding. I hope that answers your question.
