Summary: "This report summarizes the findings from the twenty-nine sessions held with over 400 participants, who work with Aboriginal clients. These sessions were across the country from December 2010 to June 2011. These workshops were hosted by the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum -- Forum canadien sur l'apprentissage (CAF-FCA) in partnership with Aboriginal (First Nation heritage, status and non-status, Métis, Inuit) organizations. The purpose of the sessions was to create awareness about Essential Skills tools and to share strategies for implementing effective interventions. Ultimately, improved Essential Skills should prepare Aboriginal people to complete their apprenticeship training and to obtain employment in the skilled trades."
