Looking to the future, the City of Swift Current and three union groups today joined with Saskatchewan First Nations and Métis Relations to sign an Aboriginal Employment Development (AED) partnership agreement focused on jobs and the city's future workforce. Working through AED, the partnership will prepare the municipal workplace to welcome more First Nations and Métis employees in order to meet the same challenge faced by many Saskatchewan employers - finding the trained workers needed to meet current and future requirements.
Signing the agreement are the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 183, International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1318, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2067. As the city hopes to recruit, hire and retain more Aboriginal employees, these unions will be welcoming new members coming from the province's First Nations and Métis communities.
"Today we have the employer, unions and government standing together with an eye to the future," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude said. "To sustain the growth we've experienced in our economy, especially in the Swift Current region, we need to connect employers with our First Nations and Métis labour force. AED is focused on doing just that for the benefit of the entire province."
"Over the past number of years the City of Swift Current has seen unprecedented growth which has provided a great source of excitement and optimism," Swift Current Mayor Sandy Larson said. "However with all the expansions and new businesses locating in our city, the demand for labor is outstripping the supply. We are extremely pleased to have this opportunity to show our commitment to partnering with the Aboriginal community in terms of preparing the workplace to support Aboriginal participation. We need to be successful in recruiting, hiring and retaining First Nations and Métis employees if we want to sustain this economic growth and keep our city growing."
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 93 AED 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.
