Abstract	The Canadian federal government will commit $25 million to an initiative aimed at assisting immigrant women. The initiative will support settlement orientation, and language and skills training to help immigrant women adapt to Canadian life and enhance their employment opportunities. Funding areas include the following: (1) delivery of basic language skills training and improvement of general orientation programs in overseas refugee camps; (2) expansion of orientation and basic settlement language skills assistance programs in Canada; and (3) increased workplace training for women. Program components include the following: (1) enhancing the orientation counseling provided by non-government field workers and External Affairs personnel abroad; (2) expanding and focusing the efforts of the Immigrant Settlement and Adaption Program (ISAP) and the Settlement Language Training Program (SLTP), with the emphasis on increasing the role of non-governmental organizations; and (3) introducing a new program under the Canadian Jobs Strategy administered by Employment and Immigration Canada for language and skills upgrading in the workplace. The project will begin early in the 1989/90 fiscal year. (FMW)
