SIAST PREPARES STUDENTS FOR JOBS

Released on March 27, 2000

SIAST plays a crucial role in meeting the education and training needs that

lead to jobs, according to a report released today.



At least 90 per cent of graduates looking for work who responded to a recent

survey say they found a job in the province within six months of graduating.



"The SIAST Review Report, Building on Strength, shows SIAST has been on the

right track, providing high-quality, responsive programs and services," Post-

Secondary Education and Skills Training Minister Glenn Hagel said. "I am

confident that the Report's recommendations will help to build on these

strengths."



Hagel says the recommendations reflect government's priorities for SIAST,

including: increasing access to education and training, increasing

participation and success for Aboriginal students, increasing use of technology

to enhance learning and improving responsiveness to the needs of students and

Saskatchewan's labour market.



The minister endorsed the report's recommendations and asked SIAST and the

Department of Post-Secondary Education and Skills Training to incorporate them

into their planning and reporting processes.



"This report is a valuable, pro-active planning tool that will ensure SIAST,

the government and other partners work together to meet the future career

development needs of Saskatchewan people," Hagel added.



The review of SIAST's mandate, a statutory requirement, was a joint effort

between senior representatives from SIAST and Saskatchewan Post-Secondary

Education and Skills Training. The review committee provided recommendations

to outline a long-term direction for SIAST.



The second largest post-secondary education institution in the province with

four campuses, SIAST has an enrolment of about 42,000 part-time and full-time

students. SIAST provides training for employment in applied science, technical

and para-professional fields.



Copies of the executive summary of the report can be picked up in Media

Services, Room 7, Legislature. You can also access the report on the following
