Net News Ledger reports the LiUNA Local 607 Training Centre has been awarded the Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) Partner Award.  Presented at the Indigenous Skills Employment, Apprenticeship and Development (ISEAD) Conference in Ottawa, the award recognizes the Laborers’ Training Centre’s efforts in building a skilled, inclusive workforce through their partnerships with Indigenous Organizations across Northwestern Ontario.  The award recognizes non-Indigenous Organizations that demonstrate exemplary partnership and commitment to Indigenous Skills, Employment and Training.  Over the past decade, the LiUNA Local 607 Training Centre has trained more than 700 Indigenous Workers through partnerships with organizations such as the Sioux Lookout Aboriginal Apprenticeship Board, Kiikenomaga Kikenjigewen Employment and Training Services, Matawa Training Centre, Fort William First Nations, and other Indigenous Organizations.  “There’s a real demand for skilled Workers in our region and we’re proud to play a part in meeting that need while making the Trades more inclusive,” said Andy Nieweglowski, who serves as the Training Director at Local 607’s Training Centre. “By working with Indigenous partners and other under-represented groups, we’re not just filling jobs - we’re helping build a workforce that truly reflects the diversity of our communities.”
