Centre d'intégration au marché de l'emploi (CIME)

Published purpose

This 28-month project will foster a feminist response and recovery in the context of the current impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through systemic change. To achieve this, the Centre d’intégration au marché de l’emploi (CIME) plans to develop and implement, in collaboration with the working committee, activities aimed at deconstructing the prejudices, stereotypes and beliefs that perpetuate inequalities and socio-economic inequities between women and men, promoting greater diversification of career choices for girls and women, and reducing occupational segregation. These activities will be deployed throughout the Eastern Townships in employability organizations, particularly in businesses and other socio-economic development structures. CIME will achieve this objective by mobilizing these organizations and businesses to integrate the activity kits into their programming in a sustainable manner. At the end of the project, CIME will have contributed to changing gender norms and attitudes by establishing a partnership network committed to fighting against inequalities and socio-economic inequities between men and women and by increasing this network’s ability to take action on this issue.
