1. Aboriginal Employment Development Program (2007)
Authors: Saskatchewan First Nations and Métis Relations
To help address high unemployment rates in the Aboriginal community, and meet the human resource demands anticipated by labour shortages in the near future, the Government of Saskatchewan created the Aboriginal Employment Development Program (AEDP).
The AEDP works with employers to identify employment needs and remove barriers to ensure a workplace that is grounded in fairness, respect and dignity, trust and open communication. These employers measure the success of non-discriminatory hiring practices of qualified applicants.

3. AWAL Guide (2006)
Handbook For Facilitators
Authors: Wendy Magahay
The AWAL Guide: Handbook for Facilitators is essentially “AWAL in a box.” The background information, suggestions, and resources collected here are intended to provide you with the tools and support you need to understand, plan for, deliver, and benefit from an AWAL Workshop for your organization.
AWAL (Applications of Working and Learning) is a valuable and effective program that can result in strong benefits for both faculty development and curriculum resource development. Through meeting with and learning from employers and employees, AWAL provides a means for educators to incorporate into their own teaching practice an emphasis on the skills that Canadian workplaces have identified as essential.
However, AWAL is not intended to provide a complete examination of a job, and certainly not of the people who do those jobs.

8. Dealing with Downsizing (2009)
Authors: The Alliance of Sector Councils (TASC)
In this document, The Alliance of Sector Councils (TASC) offers practical tips to help businesses minimize the impact of tough economic times on their organizations.
The suggestions are divided into three categories: holding on to the employees the business needs; avoiding layoffs altogether; and, as a last resort, handling layoffs in the best manner possible.
The authors encourage employers to increase communication; involve workers in decision-making; boost morale by investing in training; and investigate government programs that may help avoid permanent layoffs.
If layoffs are inevitable, the authors encourage employers to plan them carefully; understand the relevant law; and treat people with dignity and respect.
TASC is the coordinating body for more than 35 sector councils and similar organizations throughout Canada.

9. Employer Outreach Guide (2006)
Skilled Trades: A Career You Can Build On
Authors: Canadian Apprenticeship Forum (CAF), Skills Canada
The Skilled Trades: A Career You Can Build On campaign, a joint initiative between the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum - Forum canadien sur l’apprentissage (CAF-FCA) and Skills/Compétences Canada (S/CC), undertook regional consultations across Canada to discuss a range of challenges, solutions and grassroots initiatives taking place to help promote skilled trades and apprenticeship. Among the challenges identified during these consultations was the difficulty in getting employers to register apprentices.
The goal of this guide is to assist organizations with their outreach efforts by providing resources and tips that have been tried and tested in the field. Specifically, this guide provides information on how to:
- Identify and respond to common objections to registering an apprentice.
- Identify and prioritize employers that should be approached regarding apprenticeship.
- Develop a “pitch” that will convince an employer to register an apprentice.
- Identify the types of follow up activities that should be done with employers.
- Organize an employer outreach program.
