Women’s Leadership Training

Immigrant women Senior Trainers lead and conduct interactive discussion-oriented training sessions every year. Many participants come from AIWA’s workplace literacy classes and special issue trainings, such as ergonomics and workplace safety. Women enrolled in the sessions take pre-tests and post-tests to assess improvement in their knowledge of topics in every session.

As part of the training, women are encouraged to participate in AIWA’s current campaigns and committees. Over the years, the training sessions and trainers have received positive evaluation ratings in 90 – 100%. Typically, women participants express particular satisfaction with the value of information, as well as the timeliness and importance of the subject matter.
