How do these changes to job training affect disadvantaged workers and the unemployed? In an insightful and comprehensive discussion of job education in Canada, Cohen and her contributors pool findings from a five-year collaborative study of training programs. Good training programs, they argue, are essential in providing people who are chronically disadvantaged in the workplace with tools to acquire more secure, better-paying jobs. In the ongoing shift toward a neo-liberal economic model, government policies have engendered a growing reliance on private and market-based training schemes. These new training policies have undermined equity. In an attempt to redress social inequities in the workplace, the authors examine various kinds of training programs and recommend specific policy initiatives to improve access to these programs. This book will be of interest to policymakers, academics, and students interested in policy, work, equity, gender and education. 606 $aOccupational training for women$zCanada 606 $aOccupational training for minorities$zCanada 606 $aOccupational training$xGovernment policy$zCanada 606 $aAffirmative action programs$zCanada 606 $aPeople with social disabilities$xEmployment$zCanada 615 0$aOccupational training for women 615 0$aOccupational training for minorities 615 0$aOccupational training$xGovernment policy 615 0$aAffirmative action programs 615 0$aPeople with social disabilities$xEmployment 676 $a374/.013/0971 701 $aCohen$b Marjorie Griffin$f1944-$01052510 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781129003321 996 $aTraining the excluded for work$93673599 997 $aUNINA
