Diversity in Government

The Workplace Diversity Employment Office (WDEO) was created in 2004 to focus on two key initiatives of government. The first was to help people with disabilities get and keep jobs within the public service.

The second was to work with Yukon First Nation governments and their citizens to fulfill our Land Claim obligations as set out in the Umbrella Final Agreement and individual First Nations Final Agreements.

The WDEO office offers:

• career counselling
• resume assistance
• on-the-job training
• accommodation solutions
• wage subsidies
• manager and co-worker training

From time to time the WDEO will be providing tips on a variety of topics of interest to employees in the workplace. To see the tips page click on Tips from the WDEO.
