Implemented
Way Forward Commitment:
Women’s Employment Plans are designed to improve the participation of women in employment on commercial and industrial projects. These Plans support our Government’s commitment to reduce the gender wage gap by increasing women’s access to a wider range of employment, particularly in trades and technical occupations. Our Government will establish requirements for Women’s Employment Plans on infrastructure projects within the province and will commence implementation in 2017-18.
What We’ve Accomplished:
- The Corner Brook Long Term Care project included a requirement for a Women’s Employment Plan. The contract has been awarded and the plan is now being finalized in consultation with the Women’s Policy Office.
- The Corner Brook Acute Care Hospital project and the Central Long Term Care project, are both in active procurement and will include a requirement for a Women’s Employment Plan.
