Program has openings
for women job seekers

WOMEN SEEKING to enter the
labor market or to change their
jobs still have an opportunity to
join one of two Job Seeker’s Net-
work groups currently running on
the North Shore.

Although the targeted partici-
pants are mature women in the 45-
to 60-year range, others will be
welcome.

The 10-week program, which is
co-sponsored by the North Shore
Women’s Centre (NSWC) and the
Learning Resources Group, will
focus on self-awareness, goalset-
ting, confidence-building, and
labor market and training infor-
mation.

Co-ordinator of the Learning
_Resources Group, Donna Stewart
comments, *‘Most women under-
value themselves and their skills.
They find it hard to access the
labor market and training infor-
mation they need. This program
helps with both protiems. We do
self-assessment and goalsetting as
well as researching the present
realities.""

Funding for the sponsorship of
the groups was granted to the
NSWC by the Women's Secretariat
