149 Employed Through BCAMTA

Thursday, May 26, 2011

149. That’s the number of BC AMTA candidates employed today. It’s also the employment target set at the start of our three-year program. Just seventeen months into operation, we’ve met the goal and we’re on track to beat it! We’re also delighted to report more than 600 people enrolled in our program. That’s 600 people who are engaged in training and development initiatives today; men and women in the process of life-changing work, as we write.

 

While numbers speak to our ability to deliver real results, BC AMTA pursues a vision it shares with its partners in Industry, Education and First Nations communities: to create a skilled, job-ready Aboriginal workforce, ready to provide for themselves, their families and the communities they call home. It’s this vision that’s most important, and fuels our passion for the work we do. We couldn’t have achieved what we have done so far without our partners’ support and commitment: thank you.

 

But the journey does not stop here! We’ve set new milestones and while we have the ongoing support of a number of our partners, we welcome the opportunity to build new relationships too. Together, let’s set a best practice example for the rest of Canada in how to build truly inclusive workforces and eliminate poverty in First Nations communities.
