Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative (AWPI) : AWPI Employer Toolkit

The Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative (AWPI) is a national initiative designed to help employers recruit, retain and promote Aboriginal employees. The toolkit is designed to provide quick access to information geared to Aboriginal employment.

Summary

The AWPI Employer Toolkit has been designed to help employers:

• increase their awareness and understanding of issues related to Aboriginal employment;
• identify models, tools and resources that can enhance their skills related to the employment of Aboriginal peoples;
• find those models, tools and resources more easily.

There will be 12 versions of the AWPI Employer Toolkit - one national and eleven regional (Atlantic, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut and the National Capital Region). Employers and organizations operating in one region will require the national AWPI Employer Toolkit and the appropriate regional version.
