The objectives of the Youth Employment and Skills Strategy Program (YESSP) are to help all youth navigate through the labour market and to successfully transition into sustained employment. These objectives are attained by supporting the needs of all youth, especially youth facing barriers to develop skills, knowledge and networks through education, skills development and meaningful work experiences.

Through this 29-month project, the Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses du Québec will help advance women’s access to leadership and decision-making roles through systemic change. More specifically, the project will address systemic barriers to women’s representation in positions of power within the labour movement and in the workplace. It will do this by creating an assessment tool and recommendations for workplaces as well as a best practices guide for unions on equity, diversity, and inclusion, and by developing experiential training for unions to create more agents of change and provide unions tools for their negotiations. An external evaluation will measure and assess the impact of this systemic change project.

Through this 30-month project, the Fédération des femmes du Québec (FFQ) will help advance women’s economic security and prosperity through systemic change. The project will address the systemic barriers affecting women during their studies, specifically in women-dominated fields where internships are required for college or university graduation.

Through this 18-month project, Cowichan Women Against Violence Society will build its capacity to advance gender equality. It will address the organization's need for a new strategic direction that will creatively support the equity, health, safety and security of its clients. The project will include trauma-informed community consultations which will inform the development of a strategic plan, creation of the draft strategic plan, and review and revision of the plan based on stakeholder feedback.

The project will include a review and update to human resource policies, development of financial sustainability strategies, board and staff training, upgrades to operational systems, and strategic planning.

To do this, the organization will first prepare a plain-language guide for healthcare professionals on interpreting and applying the Standards of Care for the Health of Transgender and Gender Diverse People (SOC) in Quebec. The guide will help healthcare professionals to adopt practices that are both consistent with the SOC and reflective of Quebec’s realities. Through this work, TransEstrie wishes to improve the provision of care to gender-diverse people. Second, TransEstrie will develop a multimedia tool based on the principle of the “human library” and the experiences of “photovoices.”

Through this 19-month project, the Comité de la Condition Féminine au Témiscamingue will build its capacity to advance women’s equality. It will address the need to adjust the organization’s practices in response to recent increase in complexity of specific issues affecting women within its operating area. The project will include research and documentation on the reality for women in Témiscamingue through an intersectional lens as well as integrating the feminist intersectional approach into the organization’s practices.
