GDI, ESDC partner to increase Métis representation in the health sector

News

The Gabriel Dumont Institute and Employment and Social Development Canada have signed a five-year agreement that will increase Métis representation in the health sector. The agreement involves the implementation of demand-driven skills development training programs that will address the shortage of skilled healthcare workers; these programs are estimated to reach 600 Métis clients over the next five years. ESDC will contribute a total of $14.6M to the project and the Saskatchewan Health Authority will recruit and support the program’s graduates.
