LATP opens doors, unveils new logo
On Monday March 8, the Labrador Aboriginal Training Partnership (LATP) held its official opening at its head office in Happy Valley–Goose Bay. LATP is a partnership between Lower Churchill Project and Labrador's three Aboriginal groups‐ Innu Nation, the Nunatsiavut Government and the Labrador Metis Nation and was formed through the partner's successful application to the federal government's Aboriginal Skills Employment Program. The four partners, along with the federal and provincial government, will contribute approximately $30 million in cash and in‐kind contributions to provide Aboriginal people in Labrador with increased employment opportunities associated with major economic development activities. The funding agreement is in place until March 31, 2012.
Labrador Aboriginal Training Partnership (LATP)
NEW: Partnership brings $30 million in funding for Labrador Aboriginal training
The provincial and federal governments, along with Labrador's three Aboriginal groups and Nalcor Energy – Lower Churchill Project, will contribute $30 million to provide Aboriginal people in Labrador with increased employment opportunities associated with major economic development activities. The result of the partnership is the establishment of the Labrador Aboriginal Training Partnership (LATP).
The purpose of the Labrador Aboriginal Training Partnership (LATP) is to assist with improving labour market outcomes for Aboriginal people and providing support for a skilled, adaptable and inclusive labour force.
The mandate of the LATP is to oversee a comprehensive Training-to-Employment Plan that will prepare Inuit, Innu, and Metis for employment opportunities created through resource development throughout Labrador. It is an incorporated non-profit organization governed by a board of directors, with one voting member from each of the four partners. Each Aboriginal group has contributed their own training plan to LATP and will have autonomy and flexibility to ensure training opportunities fit their needs.
LATP will offer training, certification and job placement support to Aboriginal men, women and youth.
Training and certification will focus on such areas as pre-trades apprentice, construction trades occupations, heavy equipment operator, iron worker, concrete worker, truck driver, various camp support positions, and supervisory and management positions.
The partnership will also contribute to training and workplace experience required for skilled positions in the trades, operations management and emergency response, which are in demand by Aboriginal, private and public sector employers in the region.
LATP's main office will be in Happy Valley-Goose Bay and satellite offices may also be set up on Labrador's north and south coasts and in the Innu communities of Natuashish and Sheshatshiu. In the coming months, LATP will hold community information sessions throughout Labrador, providing Aboriginal people with further details. An official event unveiling the Happy Valley–Goose Bay office will take place in March.
The four partners submitted the ASEP proposal to the federal government in May 2009 and the $30 million funding agreement will be in place until March 31, 2012.
