Infinity Women Secretariat Inc.

Published purpose

This 36-month project will address barriers to economic security faced by Métis mothers and caregivers as they attempt to enter, re-enter or remain in the workforce. Through the development and pilot implementation of individual “pathways to prosperity plans,” Métis women in Manitoba will benefit from increased accessibility and coordination of relevant programs and services, such as childcare. In addition, a network of stakeholders, employers and Métis women in business will participate through targeted outreach for job-matching, and learning and skills-building sessions with participating women. Insights generated through the project will inform the creation of Métis-specific childcare programming, and will be shared to shape employer human resource and institutional policies where possible.
