Tracking ResultsThe Aboriginal Employment Development Program works with its partners to create fair access to employment and economic opportunities in Saskatchewan. The following statistics reflect the collective results of the reporting partners. 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. This information is intended to provide the public with a better understanding of the positive outcomes generated when partnership stakeholders are working together with the same objectives and principles, resulting in more qualified Aboriginal people being hired.
