Strengthening the Capacity of Organizations to Meet the Employment Skills Needs of Francophone Newcomers in Minority Situations
The Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC), in partnership with the Coalition ontarienne de formation des adultes (COFA), will develop innovative, integrated and adapted adult learning resources to support the development of skills (e.g., socio-emotional, linguistic) for the employability and integration of Francophone newcomers in Francophone minority communities. The project will build the capacity of organizations working in the areas of immigration, literacy and basic skills, employability and language training, and create strategic partnerships between organizations with complementary expertise. These partnerships will support sharing of promising practices and strengthen the capacity of service providers to serve Francophone or Francophile clients from immigrant backgrounds, supporting services to immigrant populations while enhancing their employability and skills development.
