Status of Women committee  The numbers were small, so for it to be 30%... Our target was small, so it could even be a bit of a skewed number. Some of the women actually did graduate but did not apply for jobs. It's not that they didn't finish the training. They may not have applied for jobs afterwards, o

Status of Women committee  We're going to try to get that research done, and I hope we'll come up with some answers. It's very difficult to get an answer from a person who has not been successful on why they're not successful. So that's always a challenge to get them to say, because they'll say the words t

Status of Women committee  I think that could work, except in some of the communities, a grandmother could have 75 grandchildren. So I don't know if there are enough grandmas in the small communities, but in the larger communities in the Northwest Territories.... You have given me food for thought, b

Status of Women committee  I don't, but I could get it, probably.

Status of Women committee  It was $175,000 for two years.

Status of Women committee  Soon; very soon.

Status of Women committee  Probably days.

Status of Women committee  Do you want to know how we assess?

Status of Women committee  What we did for assessment was go to communities in the Northwest Territories and do an information session on what their training would look like. From there, women applied. Once they applied, they would speak to the staff of that project team, and they also filled out an assess

Status of Women committee  We had partnership with WBF. Their assessment is fantastic for the program that they do. When they came to the Northwest Territories, there didn't seem to be as much of a fit with us, because of the low literacy rates and because our project was actually looking to help the most

Status of Women committee  I don't know. The way we think, we were thinking a co-op could be formed in a small community so the child care provider would actually work for the same person as the people who are running the bulldozers. I don't know exactly how that would work, but you'd have to have the back

Status of Women committee  They took the summer maintenance, and hopefully the next piece they'll take is the winter maintenance. We picked that one because that's a transferable skill. If they did not work out, if they went to the mines, that is a skill that is needed in every community that has fly-in in

Status of Women committee  It was supposed to be an exposure course. It's a department in the GNWT where they do community-based training and they do that piece. So they helped us out with that.

Status of Women committee  I think it would have to be in there long enough to see significant changes in how many women enter into trades or maintain...because the last statistics in the Northwest Territories indicated that only 3% of women are in the trades. Now, that was in 2006. They haven't upgraded t

Status of Women committee  It would depend on what the training is, I guess. For the training we did, honestly, we couldn't think of anything else to help those ladies. We felt we did the best job we could. Sometimes unintended things come out when you're doing work. The one thing we found, and I think t
