Option Femmes Emploi (OFE)

Published purpose

The goal of this 36-month project is to make structural changes in the Outaouais automotive sector in which women's representation is currently limited, to enable women to step into and retain positions at all levels. Regional consultations will help validate industry information about the presence of women and will help identify the context and needs in the Outaouais region. The general assembly exercise will bring together industry players in order to set the priorities for improving women’s inclusion in the industry, and there will be close cooperation with private partners to bring about concrete changes in their practices. The benefits of the project will be shared with key players in the Outaouais automotive sector and, beyond, thanks to project partners and their respective networks.
