Aboriginal Employment Development Program

The Aboriginal Employment Development Program was developed in 1992 as a response to the changing needs of the Aboriginal population. The Program is designed to take a multilateral, pro-active, integrated and focused approach to promote Aboriginal training and employment in Saskatchewan. Under the Aboriginal Employment Development Program, the Representative Workforce Strategy was developed.

		Representative Workforce Strategy A representative workforce is one where Aboriginal workers are represented at all occupational levels (entry level, middle and senior management) in proportion to their numbers in the province's population.

		AEDP Accomplishments to Date The AEDP Program and its Aboriginal Representative Workforce Strategy work to prepare the workplace in a variety of ways for the inclusion of Aboriginal people. For this reason, it is recognized that qualitative results are equally important as quantitative results.

		Tracking Results These statistics show the number of Aboriginal people hired, the number of employees who participated in Aboriginal awareness training, and the number of employees who received on-site skills training related to their employment.

		Provincial Aboriginal Representative Workforce Council (PARWC) The Provincial Aboriginal Representative Workforce Council was formally established in February 2000 to develop strategies for delivering training linked to partnership employer job opportunities.
