NEW ABORIGINAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Released on May 28, 2001

Another landmark tripartite agreement aimed at increasing Aboriginal

employment across the province was signed today in Regina.



The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC), the Amalgamated Transit

Union (ATU) and the Government of Saskatchewan signed a formal partnership

under the Aboriginal Employment Development Program (AEDP). STC in co-

operation with ATU has agreed to prepare its workplace for the Aboriginal

workforce and to work with the Aboriginal community to promote and provide

training linked to employment.



"We share a vision with Saskatchewan people that in the future, every

person will participate fully in the social and economic fabric of our

province," Aboriginal Affairs Minister Pat Lorjé said. "The object of the

AEDP is to increase the number of Aboriginal people in the workplace. This

partnership is another step forward in reaching that goal and in working

together to realize our vision."



The AEDP strives to build a representative workforce in Saskatchewan where

Aboriginal people compete for jobs based on their skills and qualifications

and are represented at all occupational levels in proportion to their

numbers in the province's population.



"This is one more step in our government's commitment to increase

employment, training and career opportunities for the Aboriginal

communities," Crown Investments Corporation Minister Maynard Sonntag said.

"At the same time, if this agreement increases the pool of trained workers

STC can draw in, that will work to the corporation's advantage."



STC was established in 1946 and has continued to provide quality

transportation services across Saskatchewan. Under the AEDP, STC will work

to build a representative workforce within its organization by linking

training to employment, providing mentorship and developing relationships

with the Aboriginal community. STC and ATU will prepare its workforce by

offering cultural awareness education and removing possible workplace

barriers.



As result of the Aboriginal Employment Development Program, more than 900

Aboriginal people have been hired by AEDP partners across Saskatchewan.
