The ACOMI Visible Minority Newcomer Women (I-Belong ) project aims to develop labor market ready skill sets and employment preparation of newcomer women. The project is designed to help visible minority women apply their acquired labor market knowledge to match employers’ needs to successfully enter the labor force, secure employment and remain competitive as part of the local labor force. Our labor force targeted employment preparation group activities are developed from both self-driven and labor market expectations. The project provides visible minority women with appropriate knowledge of Canadian work place settings. We believe visible minority women can make a positive contribution in their lives and the province of Manitoba labor force. The project is focused on building every individual’s employ-ability capacity to excel the Manitoba labor market, provide a supportive safe space, support the development of individualized specific employment or career goals, and matching of accurate knowledge to navigate local labor market demands. The “I-Belong” project works from a strength based approach by helping visible minority women build confidence, provide necessary Canadian work force preparation, and to build capacity to positively impact their lives as well as the next generation of visible minority Canadian women.

The program is for permanent resident visible minority women
