TORONTO, Feb. 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Fred Victor has received $50,000 in funding from Penny Appeal Canada to support its Women s Bakery – a training program that prepares women for jobs in the food industry.
An increasing number of Toronto women are finding themselves in low-paying, temporary jobs. Unstable employment leads to more women experiencing homelessness, using shelters, and woman-led families in precarious housing.
With the economic impact of the pandemic, even more women will experience poverty and homelessness. The need for practical experience and transferable skills is vital for job security and stability.
