Purpose

The Employment and Training Action Circle is established to build, promote and strengthen new and existing partnerships aimed at addressing the community identified current and emerging priorities of employment issues for the Urban Aboriginal community.

The Employment and Training Action Circle creates a way in which the diversity of the aboriginal community in Edmonton and the many stakeholders can come together and implement solutions to address the most pressing issues faced by aboriginal people when seeking, accessing and maintaining employment, and to develop solutions with well defined outcomes.

  • Create a working environment within the Action Circle that is welcoming, respectful and honors a process that utilizes the wisdom of the stakeholders, aboriginal community members and other partners that share a common goal.
  • Create collaborative solutions and responses to emerging issues, needs and priorities of the urban Aboriginal community by ensuring equitable and inclusive representation of Aboriginal people in the Action Circle (workforce).
  • Increase the overall level of participation of Aboriginal people when addressing the PRIORITY AREAS identified through the “Your City, Your Voice” document.
