Connexion Emploi ressources femmes

What Connexion Emploi ressources femmes does

Connexion Emploi ressources femmes is a Lévis, Québec-based nonprofit organization founded in 1986 that delivers employability and job-placement services exclusively to women, with a specific focus on entry into male-dominated trades. Its core offerings are split between "Services aux femmes" (employment counseling, career guidance, skills development, and job placement for individual women) and "Services aux entreprises" (candidate pre-selection, placement, retention support, and job posting display for employers seeking female talent). The organization also distributes specialized career resources such as "Le guide: Un avenir, une carrière, un emploi…à mon image," "Regarde, tu as le choix," and "Bâtissons l'avenir avec elles," and operates the annual "Elles sont faites pour la job" scholarship program that in 2026 awarded 19 scholarships to female students in non-traditional trades.

There is no proprietary technology underlying the platform — the organization is a service-based nonprofit with no app, no public API, and no digital products beyond informational website pages and a Facebook presence. Service delivery is conducted by a small team of approximately nine staff (Director General Céline Montesinos, Deputy Director Guylaine Cloutier, six employment counselors, and one administrative assistant) under a seven-member Board of Directors, with the entire site built on Squarespace.

The business model is grant-funded rather than revenue-generating: services are provided free of charge to participants through a partnership with Services Québec, with additional financial participation from the Secrétariat à la Condition Féminine for certain activities. The GTM is community-led, relying on direct outreach, vocational training partnerships, employer engagement, and word-of-mouth, with a regional scope limited to Québec. The organization is currently mobilizing publicly — via petition to the National Assembly — for CAD $7 million per year in core mission funding to support the broader network of 15 remaining women's employability groups in the province.
