Mahsi, Mr.
Speaker.
Certainly we are working with the communities, aboriginal organizations and aboriginal governments. Our departments are also working in the regions. They do offer a wide variety of programs at the community level, at the regional level and also at the headquarter level. They provide services that relate to career development, apprenticeship, employment preparation and training, which the Member has alluded to. At the same time, we have worked with industries in the past, because we’re very interested in apprenticeship training.
Certainly those areas have always been a key interest of the Northwest Territories, because we do lack tradespeople in the North. We also encourage and work with students to access SFA, the Student Financial Assistance Program, so they can pursue higher education as well.
