Services intégrés pour l'emploi

Published purpose

Through this 19-month systemic change project, Services intégrés pour l’emploi will top-up an initial Enterprise égalitaire certification project to advance women’s economic security and prosperity. The initial project, which focused on the Arthabaska RCM, will be extended to the Bécancour, Nicolet-Yamaska and L’Érable RCMs. It will address systemic barriers faced by women in non-traditional fields or seeking employment in male-dominated sectors. To that end, the project will raise awareness among businesses and assist them through, among other things, policy reviews and training, so they can obtain the Entreprise égalitaire certification recognizing that they apply values of equality between men and women, fight harassment, welcome their employees in an inclusive manner and provide ergonomic workstations. In addition, Services intégrés pour l’emploi will highlight businesses that are making efforts to better welcome and integrate women.
