A Message from the Minister of Education
As you can see from the stories on these pages, Community Training Funds are hard at work to make our communities healthier and more economically vibrant places to live.
Our government wants to provide Yukoners with the best opportunities to adapt to the changing world of work. Continuing education and training plays an important role in keeping Yukoners engaged in the workforce.
Some people need to learn basic life skills to acquire and maintain employment. Some people need training to start new businesses. Some people need training so they can fill labour shortages in crucial sectors-such as the trades.
Thanks to opportunities provided by Community Training Funds, Yukoners from every walk of life are finding their niche as part of a skilled workforce.
Community Training Funds are an important investment in our people, in our workforce and in our communities.
