Title: Aboriginal Human Resource Development Strategy (AHRDS)


1
Aboriginal Human Resource Development Strategy
(AHRDS)
  • Happy Valley-Goose Bay
  • June 19, 2006

2
Reasons for the AHRD Strategy
  • Aboriginal population is growing at a faster rate
    than the Canadian average, is younger, and will
    make up a larger portion of the labour force
  • Unemployment remains significantly higher
  • Aboriginal populations have higher rates of
    disabilities and more single parents
  • Lower education levels, even though 70 of new
    jobs will require some form of post-secondary
    education
  • Provide Aboriginal population with labour force
    attachment through work experience opportunities

3
PURPOSE
  • To help improve the employment opportunities of
    Aboriginal peoples and enable them to more fully
    participate in the Canadian economy. This can be
    done by providing financial assistance to
    Aboriginal organizations to support the costs of
    human resources development programs such as
    Labour Market, Youth, Aboriginal Persons with
    Disabilities, and Childcare programs.

Programs Available

    subsidies to organizations to encourage them to
    hire unemployed individuals for long-term
    employment.
  • TWS funded St. Lewis Heritage Society TWS to
    assist with building heritage structure

Programs Available (cont)
  • Self-Employment Benefit (SEB) - helps unemployed
    individuals start their own businesses or become

  • Job Creation Partnerships (JCP) provides
    unemployed individuals with short-term employment
    opportunities to help them gain work experience
  • JCP funded Sheshatshiu Carpentry program

    with additional education and training to gain
    the skills they need to enter the labour market.
