Message CEO/PresidentAboriginal Human Resource CouncilKelly LendsayJuly 2007Dear Workforce Connex participant,It is my pleasure to present the outcomes of the forum in the national Workforce Connexseries, which was held in Saint John, New Brunswick on May 9th, 2007.The concept behind Workforce Connex came to life after Human Resources and Social Development Canada undertook a series of roundtables withstakeholders across the country in 2005. The principal purpose of the tour was to bring together Aboriginal Human Resource Development Agreementholders (AHRDAs), the private sector and other key stakeholders together to discuss better collaborations in Aboriginal labour market development.Throughout this process the Aboriginal Human Resource Council (AHRC) emphasized the importance of collaboration, coordinationand communication. And, to achieve results, the potential partners; government, the private sector, training institutions,community groups and Aboriginal people, have to be committed to implement sustainable partnership strategies.It was rewarding to see this vision unfold through active discussion among all participating stakeholder groups at the NewBrunswick forum. Participants were engaged in discussion and motivated to break down barriers and find solutions to resolve thecurrent training, recruitment and retention issues of Aboriginal people, with a special focus on trades and apprenticeship.It is now critical for New Brunswick Workforce Connex participants to continue dialogue and build strong and sustainablepartnerships that will encourage and provide training and jobs for Aboriginal people in New Brunswick.AHRC will continue its work to facilitate discussion among trades and apprenticeship stakeholders to help build askilled Aboriginal workforce that feeds the growing need of Canada’s Aboriginal people and economy.We would like to thank you, the participant, for your participation in New Brunswick Workforce Connex. The council looks forwardto your continued involvement and added value in this multi-dimensional partnership initiative. Your role is critical!Sincerely,Kelly Lendsay, MBAPresident and CEOAboriginal Human Resource Council EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAboriginal Human Resource Council New Brunswick Workforce Connex Report
