Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois a pour objectif de faire progresser certaines des grandes priorités relevées à l’issue du sondage de 2016 sur les enjeux liés à la gestion, et d’augmenter le nombre de femmes et de filles travaillant dans le secteur manufacturier. Des activités planifiées encourageront les femmes à entreprendre une carrière dans ce domaine en sensibilisant les femmes et les filles sur les avantages d’un travail en fabrication au Canada. Le MEC créera également des réseaux régionaux qui, de concert avec le groupe de travail national, feront la promotion de programmes pour susciter l’intérêt des femmes envers les professions manufacturières. Enfin, pour favoriser l’inclusion et la diversité dans les milieux de travail, le MEC mettra au point un ensemble de pratiques exemplaires à l’intention des manufacturiers, qui pourront les adopter et faire état de leurs progrès.
