Tataskweyak Cree Nation Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation
Essential Skills in Training for Cree Nation Apprentices E. Gordon McGillivray Ezra Bogle
This workshop explained how essential skills are utilized in the training provided for Tataskweyak Cree trades’ apprentices as they move through apprenticeship training programs. The Tataskweyak Cree Nation employment and training initiative in Split Lake is part of one of the largest projects in northern Manitoba. The Nation is working with the Manitoba Apprenticeship Branch to move their trades’ people through the apprenticeship levels to reach journeyman status and increase the number of journeypersons in the community. The Nation also works with a number of training service providers to provide training in the Heavy Equipment Operators, Crane Operators, and Trucking Industry fields. Designated trades apprentices and non-designated trainees from the employment and training initiatives are being placed on the job throughout Manitoba and as far away as Calgary, Alberta.
Ezra Bogle of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation then described the development of Atoskiwin Training and Employment Centre (ATEC) in Nelson House MB and the training offered at the Centre, including the essential skills focused training. The ATEC Centre of Excellence was developed in partnership with many stakeholders including Manitoba Hydro. All of the training programs have a life skills component which trainees must complete.

Essential Skills in Aboriginal Pre-Apprenticeship Training Peg Carson
Peg discussed the integration of essential skills into Aboriginal pre-apprenticeship training, focussing particularly on the Keyano / Syncrude Safety and Workplace Reading Workshop and its integration into three Aboriginal pre-apprenticeship programs. There are 99 Aboriginal apprentices in Fort McMurray, the fourth highest number in Canada, and it is predicted that within a decade one in every five new workers in Alberta will be Aboriginal. Training programs that integrate essential skills can help to increase the success rate of apprenticeship trainees. In addition to outlining the program, Peg gave participants the opportunity to work through several essential skills' activities which are used in the workshop. This workshop provided an excellent example of how materials developed for one program can be adapted for integration into other programs.

Prescription for Learning: Communication Skills for the Practice of Pharmacy Angela Tessier
This workshop provided insight into the research, development and delivery of a program custom designed to enable internationally trained pharmacists to practice in Canada. The program uses the essential skills as a framework and focuses on the culture of the Canadian workplace, oral communication, problem solving, and written communication. In addition, the merits of mentorship and key parameters, when working with a regulated profession, were described. The Departments of Advanced Education and Training, Industry Training Partnerships and Labour and Immigration (Government of Manitoba) worked on this initiative in collaboration with the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association and a number of community and hospital pharmacies specifically Westfair Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Safeway and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. The program has since been used in Alberta for internationally trained pharmacists and as a model for internationally trained teachers.
