Book excerpt: This report presents the findings of an initial assessment of the utilization & effectiveness of employment, job access, and training programs among Aboriginal women in Quebec. The study's first sample focusses on Aboriginal women living in Montreal, and the second focusses on women from three Aboriginal communities in the regions. After an introduction on research methodology and informant characteristics, chapter 1 begins with a sketch of the Quebec Aboriginal population and an overview of the state of employment & education among Aboriginal women. It continues with a profile of employability program clientele by such characteristics as age, origin, level of education. Chapter 2 covers program utilization & effectiveness, based on socio-demographic data gathered during interviews and from statements of informants. Views of resource persons on programs and their utilization & effectiveness are analyzed. Programs specifically tailored to Aboriginal clients are also assessed with regard to such matters as eligibility and training content. The conclusion summarizes the major thrusts of the study and ends with a series of recommendations. Appendices include tables summarizing the information on the programs discussed throughout the report.
