We’re one of over 100 First Nation communities across Canada participating in a project to put a spotlight on our labour market. We want to know where the gaps are, and what planning, training and programs could best support our people.
The information we’re collecting is vital and we encourage you to participate.
If you’re a member of Qalipu First Nation age 15 +, you can complete the survey and we will send you a $25 gift card to say Thanks. 10 months after, you can complete an update to let us know of any changes. Once your update is received, we will mail you a $40.00 gift card to show our appreciation.
With more than 5700 surveys completed so far, that’s over $140,000 in thank-you gift cards paid out to Band members!
The Indigenous Labour Market Survey is funded by Employment and Service Development Canada (ESDC) and is maintained and supported by Aboriginal Employment Services Inc. (AES). The project began in 2018 and is scheduled to continue until March 31, 2025.
As part of the extension, our team will be surveying employers to help us further understand the labour market. The employer survey will help update, and populate, the Qalipu Business Network. The Qalipu Business Network (QBN) is an opportunity for member business owners to network with each other, develop alliances and partnerships, explore joint ventures, learn about business opportunities, and build relationships among Qalipu members. It brings Qalipu business owners under one umbrella and helps create a significant Qalipu business presence. The QBN is also where major contractors search for Indigenous sub-contractors and suppliers.
