This guidebook was prepared for immigrant women in Canada who want to make changes in their working lives but who lack the knowledge, information, or self-confidence to carry out such changes. It is suggested that the book be used in group settings with immigrant women sharing the same concerns. Nine units cover the topics of getting to know one another, taking control, planning goals, assessing skills, training for a new career, searching for a job (two units), taking a job, and reviewing what has been learned in preparation for the next step of carrying through some of the planned changes. Each unit has an introduction; a story, poem, or dialogue describing the experience of immigrant women accompanied by questions; information about job training opportunities, job search skills, and the rights of working women; group activities, such as role-playing; spaces to record the participant's experience and ideas; methods for developing strategies or ways of solving problems; and language practice. An appendix includes a glossary of unfamiliar words and further information on community services, continuing education, and legislation affecting female workers. (CMG)
