Three participants work for the Provincial government, and the employment services offered through the Federal and Provincial governments are easily defined and available at 16 provincial centres. The Manitoba Government provides a full description of the provincial Employment and Training Services through web sources on the Government of Manitoba, Manitoba Competitiveness, Training and Trade (n.d.a) website. Manitoba employment centres typically offer the following services: (a) employment needs assessment, (b) employment and career counselling, (c) referrals to other agencies, (d) prior learning advisory services, (e) job information, (f) job search assistance, and (g) access to computers. The province also offers services through external service providers. Small communities may have one person offering all of the above listed services. Participants work in larger centres in The Pas, Thompson, and Selkirk regional offices where they coordinate, train, and fund services as required outside the city centre. The reserve services offered in the non-governmental organizations, e.g., Fisher River and Opaskwayak Cree Nation, are less extensive and sometimes different than their government counter parts. Both Cree Nations have building space dedicated to the employment services they provide, and while they work in offices, there is less structure and fewer workers than the government offices. Opaskwayak Cree Nation (n.d.) is a jewel in the north in relation to providing employment and training services for their members. Their website offers the following services: (a) job placements, (b) funding for training expenses, (c) college programming, (d) employment transportation, and (e) youth programs, in addition to regular job finding services. Fisher River is far smaller and employment services were more difficult to locate on the web. A good outline of services was published as part of a best-practice presentation on their ARHDA agreement (Fisher River Cree Nation, n.d.). The list of past services from that agreement included: (a) child care, (b) apprenticeship, (c) Verna J Kirkness Higher Learning Institute, (d) single seat training, (e) computer training, (f) targeted wage subsidy, (g) summer student employment, (h) youth work experience, (i) youth drop in centre, and (j) outreach services. Despite this rather impressive list of services, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternative–Manitoba (2006) claimed, “Many programs in Manitoba provide only a portion of the supports that a job-seeker needs to become competitive for employment” (p. 2).
