Career Opportunities

Northern Saskatchewan is an engine for economic growth. The recent strong prices for the Province's non-renewable resources, particularly uranium, have led to unprecedented interest and investment in exploration and development. There is continued strong potential for growth in oil sands, commercial fishing and other primary resources such as wild rice, plus many interesting and rewarding careers in the tourism industry in Saskatchewan's beautiful boreal forest and lake country.

The economic environment in the North presents significant opportunities for northerners in business and employment, but there are challenges: rugged landscapes, great distances between communities, and the need for skills training and business assistance. The northern population is young and growing, and keen to benefit from northern development that is environmentally sound and sustainable.

The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to seeing that Northerners realize their dreams, and you can play a part - with a career in the civil service. First Nations and Métis Relations and other provincial ministries are seeking energetic, engaged people who want to make a difference in the North in a variety of fields.
