the Equity Access to Apprenticeship Resource Kit was developed in British
Columbia and is available from the Open Learning Agency (1 800 663-1653),
with over 100 pages of resources with contact names and numbers. It also
has excellent descriptions of what some of the barriers are for the various
equity groups: women, visible minorities, aboriginal people, persons with
disabilities, and some extended descriptions of effective initiatives that
have been undertaken in the US and Canada.

Also, Kootenay WITT has a number of resources developed specifically to
assist teachers and young women to explore a greater range of career
options. http://www.imag.net/~wcn/koot-witt/
