Capturing change in Indigenous labour markets
This project will develop and test a novel solution to document and respond to changes as they happen in Indigenous labour markets in order to enhance participation among Indigenous peoples.
Fleming College sits on the traditional territory of the Michi Sagiig Anishnaabe, governed by the Williams Treaty. The college honours the land itself and the people who have stewarded it through the generations. COVID-19 has significantly altered the landscape for students, graduates, and the economic situation of all communities with the full extent of the impact still unknown. Fleming, in partnership with MDB Insight and Vicinity Jobs, will leverage collective expertise to develop and test a solution to document real-time changes in Indigenous labour markets.
