BLOG #04 – Jobs in Nunavut for Inuit

It was difficult to hear what we recorded on GarageBand so I thought if anyone wanted clarification here it is.

Does the Government of Nunavut (GN)  help Inuit with training?

Under the Nunavut Lands Claim Agreement (NLCA) Article 23 titled “Inuit Employment within the Government” states that the purpose of Article 23 is to increase Inuit participation within the GN at a representative level. Does the GN help Inuit get to Article 23 desired goal? Under article 23 part 5 is pre-employment training, its purpose is to provide Inuit with the necessary skills through workshops, courses and programs within Nunavut. Here is a link you can click to view training opportunities.

If you’ve viewed the link you probably noticed that the GN provides courses in different regions and communities to make it more convenient for us Inuit. The purpose of these courses is to help Inuit improve skills to make better performances on a daily basis. We have our resources to be a better GN employee but it’s up to us to take advantage of these courses. I feel the problem with these courses are that ONLY GN employees are eligible to take these courses (in most cases)

We all try to improve at doing our jobs, my question for you is how can we improve without actually needing to take formal education?
