What is the Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative?A partnership initiative of the Government of Canada, the Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative (AWPI) is committed to increasing the participation of Aboriginal peoples in the labour market. Initially launched in 1991, AWPI's mandate was renewed and enhanced in 1996. AWPI's goal is to educate and inform employers about the advantages of hiring Aboriginal peoples. AWPI strives to raise awareness of Aboriginal employment issues; enhance the capacity of employers to recruit, promote and retain Aboriginal employees; and promote information-sharing and networking among stakeholders. AWPI recognizes that Aboriginal employment is a complex issue, requiring a flexible approach. AWPI supports a wide variety of activities to assist those committed to Aboriginal employment. These activities can be easily tailored to meet specific needs. For more information on AWPI, visit the AWPI website or call the Aboriginal Workforce Participation Initiative at (819) 994-5924. |
