PRINCE ALBERT REDA PARTICIPATES IN YOUTH EMPLOYMENT INITIATIVE

Released on October 2, 1998

Economic and Co-operative Development Minister Janice MacKinnon today

participated in an event congratulating the Prince Albert Regional

Economic Development Authority for its involvement in the REDA Youth

Employment Initiative.



The Prince Albert REDA provides services for business development and

regional economic initiatives for the City of Prince Albert and

surrounding communities. It has hired Brad Cathcart, of Prince

Albert, as the first young graduate to take part in the new employment

program locally.



The REDA Youth Employment Initiative is open to Saskatchewan residents

between the ages of 18 and 29, who are recent graduates of a

recognized post-secondary business program. These graduates will help

REDAs with a number of projects, including business counselling,

preparing regional profiles and identifying regional business

development issues and opportunities. The full-time work term will be

for a minimum of four months and must be completed by March of 1999.



"I am pleased to see the REDA Youth Employment Initiative in action

here in the Prince Albert region," MacKinnon said. "This program is

helping us provide jobs for young people while at the same time

offering REDAs an opportunity to expand their services to the

community."



Saskatchewan Economic and Co-operative Development will support

the REDAs by paying up to 75 per cent of the salary costs and by

providing training and mentor opportunities for those hired.



"This program is a great help to us at the Prince Albert REDA

office," said Prince Albert REDA General Manager Graham Halliday.

"Brad will be providing our clients with research and consulting

services in areas such as strategic marketing, business planning

and community profiles."



The $240,000 REDA Youth Employment Initiative is one of a number

of enhancements to the REDA program announced in the 1998-99

provincial budget. In all, the province is investing an

additional $1.95 million in REDAs to help increase their capacity

to serve Saskatchewan businesses and co-operatives.
