Partance, centre d’emploi pour femmes

Published purpose

Through this 20-month systemic change project, the Partance women’s employment centre will top up the Osez contribuer à changer les mentalités! project to advance women’s economic security and participation in male-dominated sectors. The initial project, which focused on 3 sectors, will be extended to cover all fields mainly held by men in the Drummond RCM. In addition, this project will take an intersectional approach involving trans and non-binary individuals. In so doing, it will eliminate the barriers faced by all women + who wish to work in a non-traditional field. To that end, a study will first be carried out with members of the 2SLGBTQI+ communities to understand their specific issues and develop expertise to create tools adapted to diversity. The Partance, centre d'emploi pour femmes will assist partner businesses by equipping management and managers but will also go further by directly educating workers about best practices for inclusion. Linkages with educational institutions will be extended to all trades, and a network of models and mentors striving for healthy and inclusive environments will be developed.
