92. The National Training Act: Its Impact On Women (1984)
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Collection: Research Materials
CCLOW is intensely interested in the National Training Act. Since its conception through to its implementation, we have carefully monitored its development and assessed its impact on women.
This document identifies and discusses a number of serious shortcomings in the National Training Act, after careful study and review of the legislation by CCLOW, including a one-day colloquium in Toronto in June, 1983. These shortcomings clearly suggest that the National Training Act was, and continues to be, detrimental to women who are attempting to access training opportunities in Canada.

Literacy, training, equity and, finally, employment. Is it that easy in Canada? Easy for women? What is literacy? It is a complex skill, developed from the time you start to walk right up to your use of language today. Reading, writing, listening and speaking not only in your mother tongue but also in English or French, if you want to get a job in Canada. Language training is the first tool if you are an immigrant and can be the basis of your acceptance in this country if you are a woman and of colour.

CCLOW Ottawa is a group of feminists interested in women's education. The group produced this document, a feminist approach to policy making. In the document, they state…”A new direction for Canada which will lead to economic renewal is a worthy goal. It can be accomplished if it is based on the reality and participation of all Canadians. This means reaching out, especially to women. In setting this new direction we must remember that economic prosperity is only worthwhile if it results in a fair and just society for everyone.”
