Employment and Immigration Minister Lloyd Axworthy today announced special measures under the National Training Program to help women train for the jobs of the future.

Canada Employment Centers will now have to meet performance targets to ensure an increase in the number of women who enroll in institutional and industrial training.

"I am asking my officials to actively promote such training and re-training for women," Mr. Axworthy said. "I want women to know the requirements for and the value of training in the expanding non-traditional occupational sectors."
