Saskatchewan retail grocer, Canada Safeway Limited, with over 1,600 employees province-wide, took an important step today to assure a strong diverse workforce for the future by signing on as the newest Aboriginal Employment Development (AED) partner. Safeway is the first retail grocery company to enter into an AED partnership and builds upon their on-going efforts to recruit more First Nations and Métis employees.
"It is significant that Canada Safeway, one of Saskatchewan's major grocery retailers, has stepped up to the plate to be a part of this initiative," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude said. "By focusing on making their workplace more welcoming to qualified First Nations and Métis job applicants, Canada Safeway will benefit by becoming an employer of choice for young First Nations and Métis job seekers.
AED has as its overarching goal to see First Nations and Métis people achieve representation in the provincial workforce at all occupational levels in proportion to their population numbers. To achieve this, Saskatchewan's Ministry of First Nations and Métis Relations works with the AED partners to reduce barriers and open the workplace for increased First Nations and Métis participation.
"Safeway recognizes the potential of our home-grown workforce," Canada Safeway Limited Saskatchewan district manager Todd Leibel said. "Through AED we hope to attract and retain bright, career-minded young people who will see Canada Safeway as both a place to start a career and one that supports advancement to all levels in the organization."
In Saskatchewan, Canada Safeway operates 15 stores and currently has 1,644 full and part-time employees. The company has estimated it will add an additional 600 new employees to fill positions in the next three years as they continue to update all of their stores to their new Lifestyle format.
The Aboriginal Employment Development initiative is focused on bringing the largely untapped First Nations and Métis workforce into Saskatchewan's growing economy. Through workplace audits, existing AED employer and union partners identify jobs into the future that will need trained employees. Educational institutions can then develop and offer programs to give First Nations and Métis people the skills they need to compete successfully for the open positions. All AED partners work to identify and address barriers to training, hiring and retaining First Nations and Métis employees.
With this signing, there are now 91 Aboriginal Employment Development partnership agreements in place. Agreements have been signed with public and private sector employers, organized labour, government ministries, First Nations and Métis organizations, post-secondary institutions, and First Nations and Métis communities.
