1. The National Training Act: Its Impact On Women (1984)
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
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.

2. Making education accessible to all learners
3. Accountability.
