IMMIGRANT WOMAN SERVICES OTTAWA

iSisters and Immigrant Women Services Ottawa

This new employment support program was designed for immigrant women who are survivors of violence. We are thrilled to have the chance to work with women from all over the world at IWSO. A pilot class started in October 2006. Regular classes are now running through 2007.

Listen to the CBC radio interview by Julie Ireton.

Participants in this program learn how to:

• use the Internet and Email,
• be safe online and judge online content,
• use a Word processor to make a resume,
• and other technology skills that build their individual employability.
