Canada/Manitoba. Skills development in northern mining regions: lessons from Manitoba

For many Indigenous communities in northern Manitoba, the mining industry is a major source of employment. However, these jobs are vulnerable to mine life cycles, market demand for commodities, and automation. Mining is steadily becoming a skilled occupation, so worker education and training must keep up with the skills required to do modern mining jobs.

Providing adequate educational and training opportunities for learners in remote and Indigenous communities faces a unique set of challenges, including geography, culture, and Internet access. Organizations that form part of the regional skills development ecosystem in northern Manitoba, including postsecondary institutions, governments, industry bodies, and learners, must all rise to the challenge of meeting current job needs while keeping an eye on the skills and training workers will need in the future.

Canada. Understanding the Value, Challenges, and Opportunities of Engaging Métis, Inuit, and First Nations Workers

From www.conferenceboard.ca - June 7, 2013 1:36 PM
Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Canadian businesses face current and future challenges finding enough qualified workers to meet their needs. The Aboriginal population of Canada—including Métis, Inuit, and First Nation—as an underutilized source of labour, can help businesses fill skills and labour gaps.
This report discusses the challenges and opportunities that Canadian employers face when engaging Aboriginal workers. It offers strategies that employers can pursue to improve the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal employees.
