dc.description.abstractEducation and training have been issues Aboriginal Communities have dealt with for a number of years. Today, even though on reserve schools are administrated by Aboriginal Communities, they continue struggling with low levels of school attainment and completion (Bruce & Marlin, 2012). The low percentages of high school retention and completion, plus the gap in the transition from school to employment Aboriginal individuals’ face, are factors preventing them from successfully integrate into the workforce (Bruce & Marlin, 2012). As a consequence Aboriginal Communities are experiencing high rates of unemployment reaching 25.6% for Aboriginal individuals living on reserve (Statistics Canada, 2013). The result of this is high level of migration of their young members to urban centers seeking for new opportunities (Wilson & Macdonald, 2010). This project researches in criteria to be considered when developing training for Aboriginal individuals in Technical Environmental matters so they can be employed by natural resources extraction companies, representing a solution to access to local manpower in remote areas, as well as abating socio economic issues for Aboriginal peoples living on reserves.
