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 nondesignated 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.

Five males and one female began 6 weeks of Essential Skills at the
Regional Centre.
Last grade level completed ranged from Gr. 9 to Gr. 12.
Classroom theory consists of 1 hr of math relevant to the carpentry
trade, reading and comprehension skills, note taking during lectures,
reading charts and graphs from safety manual.
Practical theory consisted of building garbage bins for the
community. It was designed relating theoretical portion to the
practical project using math formulas learned from class time.
Students did blueprint drawing of garbage bins to get idea of scale
and blueprint reading. This was a great success, in terms of their
learning.
The last portion of their practical was designing their own projects.
The students built their own night table/dresser, stairs, landing for a
clothes line, garbage bin, and 2 entertainment centres.
o Technical exam will be written on March 6th
o Will review marks and evaluation of course delivery
on March 8th with Carpentry Training Institute.
o If success rate is good, we will implement essential
skills course with Electrical and Plumbing trades.
o Some trades apprentices may work well with 10mth
traditional model and others with the 6wks Essential
Skills and 10wks of Technical Course.

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.

Present & Future
With current technology
The Present: 99 Apprentices
177 billion barrels of bitumen are
recoverable with current methods.
Fort McMurray has the fourth highest
number of Aboriginal Apprenticeships in
Alberta.
With new technology
1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels could be recovered with new
technology.
The Future: One of every five
The Prediction
Pearl Calahasen predicts within a decade
that Aboriginals will represent 1 of every 5
new entrants into the Alberta labour
market.
The Alberta Department of Energy has predicted that
over $80 billion will be invested by 2020.

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.
