Custodial history
Scope and content
This series contains material related to Lynn Wall's participation on various training boards and advisory groups. Concern about training and adjustment programs in Ontario surfaced in late 1980s; education, apprenticeship, and training programs were not always accessible to those they were intended to help (i.e. women, immigrants, people with disabilities). Likewise, questions were raised about whether the skills being taught were applicable to changing job market featuring new digital technologies. Provincially, the Ontario Training and Adjustment Board (OTAB) was established, and their mandate included local boards as the next step in labour market development. These local boards were governed by a board of directors made up of business people, labour, women, racial minorities, people with disabilities, francophones, educators, and trainers, and they aimed to create a more efficient, effective, equitable, and relevant range of programs and services at the local level.
The records in this series are predominantly related to Lynn Wall's role as the women's representative of Local Board Area 2, and director of the Women's Advisory Group to the Ottawa-Carleton Training Board. However, Wall also served on other committees such as the Ontario Women's Action on Training Coalition, the Ottawa Area Women's Training and Education Group, the Ontario Committee on Trades, Technology, and Operations Occupations for Women, and the Ontario Committee on Non-Traditional Occupations for Women.
