]]> In 2018-19, the Government of Canada announced a $31.9 million investment to help racialized newcomer women secure employment. The Career Pathways for Racialized Newcomer Women Pilot Project, initially a three-year national pilot which was extended until 2022-23, that tests enhanced employment programming for newcomer women who identify as racialized, is one of the three funding streams in this initiative. The Social Research and Demonstration Corporation (SRDC) has received funding from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to design, implement, and evaluate CPRNW.

THE CPRNW PILOT

Prior to its extension, the pilot project involved eight service provider organizations across Canada, implementing 11 interventions based on four service delivery models. The overall goal of each model is to support racialized newcomer women in their successful integration into the Canadian labour market. The models differ by their target population (e.g., women with different skill/language levels and different initial distances from the labour market) as well as by the program activities involved. The models aim to address some of the common barriers racialized newcomer women face in their search for employment and in job retention.

]]> The federal Office of Literacy and Essential Skills contracted SRDC in 2014 to conduct independent evaluations of two pilot projects in Essential Skills (ES) training for low-skilled Canadians. Both feature pay-for-success funding approaches, whereby private investors pay up front for training and are repaid by the government if the training is successful in achieving pre-established outcomes. The pilots represent the first time in Canada that these innovative funding approaches have been applied to ES training. This report describes SRDC’s project activities from the time of pilot inception to Fall 2017.
