Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

$196,805.00

Agreement Date:

Jan 3, 2022 - Mar 31, 2024

Description:

This 27-month project supports a feminist response to and recovery from the current impact of COVID-19 through systemic change. To achieve this, Partance, Centre d'emploi pour femmes inc. plans to support small- and medium-sized enterprises in the Central Quebec region to develop healthy, inclusive strategies, free from discrimination and intimidation, to facilitate and increase women’s participation in three highly male-dominated sectors: construction, industrial metal manufacturing and information technology. More specifically, Partance plans to design and promote inclusive human resource policies and practices among employers to guide them in recruiting, onboarding and especially in retaining women in jobs, and to implement effective human resource practices in their companies. During implementation of its project, Partance will take account of initiatives funded by Emploi-Québec for supporting employers in human resources management and implementing inclusive practices, in order to avoid possible duplication. By the end of the project, the organization will have helped eliminate systemic barriers by promoting inclusive policies and practices, by changing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes and by expanding networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change in support of women’s equality.
