The Native Women's Association of Canada announced on March 4 the creation of a new employment initiative called "CareerPlace." The program will assist Aboriginal women in securing careers within the corporate sector, and will also feature a mentorship component to help women make a smooth transition into their new careers. Application forms for the program will be widely available, said Luigia Cistera, the project's manager, at such facilities as friendship centres and band administration offices. For information, Cistera can be reached at 1-800-461-4043. (RJH)
