Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I heard three questions in that question. But it's good to get the information out to the public as well too.
The Housing Corporation continues to work closely with ECE in providing opportunities for apprenticeship with our local housing organizations. The Housing Corporation also plans to participate in upcoming career fairs and other venues to promote these apprenticeship opportunities.
The Housing Corporation participates in a departmental working group with ECE and provides regular reporting to ECE on apprenticeship hires with local housing organizations as well as those supports through our new construction contracts.
The Housing Corporation works with ECE to verify the apprentice hires under the new construction contracts and the Northwest Territories registered apprentices. ECE administers the apprenticeships, trades and occupation certificates, which includes registration of apprentices.
Due to the privacy legislation, ECE does not share names of apprentices with employers; however, ECE does provide advice to employers who are looking for apprentices.
Further, each apprentice is supported by a career development officer who can advise an apprentice on employment opportunities and jobs in demand across the Northwest Territories. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
