I hear you on the scoring frustration. I believe we’ve already had
conversations on this and I understand the frustration that some of your constituents are having, and not just your constituents, but others across the Northwest Territories, and the barriers that our system may be actually putting in place unknowingly, which I’m going to go back to my comments on the Aboriginal Employees Advisory Committee. We’re really looking forward to some suggestions they have on the process. I mean what barriers we may be unknowingly be putting in and how we can improve those. So we look forward to their input.
Once again, please, anytime you have an opportunity or a constituent who comes to you with concerns, have them talk to HR, have them talk to some of the HR practitioners about what happened in the process and where they went off the rails and why they were not successful.
I did already talk a little bit about How to Apply for GNWT Jobs. That’s a program that we’re going to be piloting. I think we’re starting with piloting that in Fort Smith, but as we move forward, we’d like to see that program get out across the Northwest Territories and that’s for non-GNWT employees. That’s for people who want to become an employee of the Government of the Northwest Territories. So I take all your points, I hear you clearly. The department is listening and taking notes. We have some work to do and we will try to find the solutions to reduce any barriers that may exist for people across the Northwest Territories to apply on jobs.
