Building Aboriginal Skills to
Employment (BASE)
The Native Council of Nova Scotia is very pleased to have our submission approved for the “Building Aboriginal Skills
to Employment (BASE)” program. BASE was developed to encourage the participation and have supports available
for Aboriginal peoples to pursue occupations that are useful and relevant to the oil and gas industry. Our primary goal
will be to increase the number of Aboriginal Peoples who are trained and employed in self sustaining careers relevant
to the oil and gas industry.

Partners involved in this program to date include:
•
Trucking Human Resource Sector Council;
•
Atlantic Petroleum Training College/Survival Systems Ltd.;

Tuition and books;

Work Experience:
There is also a Work Experience component included in the BASE
Project. We will work with our partners to provide a 4-6 week work experience for participants after completion of

The Future Matters!
Starting in February 2012, Statistics Canada will be
conducting the Aboriginal Peoples Survey with First
Nations people living off reserve, Métis and Inuit
across Canada. You may be invited to participate on
a voluntary basis.
Your participation will help provide a better
understanding of the opportunities and challenges
that lead to success in education and employment. Your
information will help support the efforts of Aboriginal
communities, organizations and governments as they
work towards making improvements in the well-being
of Aboriginal peoples.
