Steps taken today will open the door for more Aboriginal employees to enter the workforce and help fuel our healthy economy. The Southern Plains Métis Local #160 Inc., The Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce and the Government of Saskatchewan are signing an Aboriginal Employment Development (AED) partnership to prepare the municipal workplace to welcome more First Nations and Métis employees.
"This partnership is unique because of the nature of how it came to be," First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude said. "I would like to make special note that it was the Aboriginal community, Southern Plains Métis Local, who took the lead to bring their members together with government at a common table to find solutions. I acknowledge your accomplishments today and look forward to a vibrant future together."
"Southern Plains Métis Local #160 Inc. is very pleased with the signing of the Aboriginal Employment Development Partnership," Southern Plains Métis Local president Greg Lawrence said. "The signing is a step forward toward a positive future in offering a solution to the workforce shortage that exists in Saskatchewan. We are proud to be part of this agreement for Moose Jaw and area."
"The future is very clear when you look at the demographics of the province," Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce president Darryl Pisio said. "The Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce believes we have to ensure that we all work together to grow the economy and our community. To ensure mutual benefits, the Chamber will promote communication through its linkages between the employers and the Aboriginal workforce. By creating diversity we create richer workplaces and communities."
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 employers and partners identify jobs into the future that will require trained employees. Educational institutions can then respond by developing and offering programs to give First Nations and Métis people the skills they need to compete successfully for these opportunities. 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 94 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, First Nations and Métis communities.
