Cbrm Organization Wants To Relaunch Women-Focused Employment Project
According to the CBC, Cape Breton organization that spent three decades helping women find employment is hoping to secure government funding once again now that Island Employment has shut down after a damning report from the province's ombudsman.
The Ann Terry Project, which was the flagship project of the Ann Terry Society, had long offered supports for women entering the workforce before funding issues led it to partner with Island Employment — a relationship that ended two years later in 2018 amid growing tension between both organizations.
The Ann Terry Society now focuses on pre-employment programming by getting grants for individual programs and partnering with community organizations.
