First, we have a variety of models. Colleges in Canada typically work with industry and the private sector to ensure that the courses they offer match workforce needs. It's essential that the courses as a whole prepare students for specific jobs.
I'd like to give an example of how we make sure that courses match needs. In Yukon, they started offering a program called “First Nations Governance and Public Administration”. That course is being offered because it's important for Yukon to have a public administration program to foster a better understanding of the aboriginal element. The program has been very successful. Initially, the program was offered only to Yukoners, but there's now a huge demand for it to be offered more broadly.
Now let's talk about essential skills, which are crucial. As I said earlier, we launched 17 pilot projects. Those projects showed that up to 60% of learners had not mastered essential skills. There are five levels, the fifth being the highest. People need at least level three to function in society. We discovered that a significant proportion of people didn't have that level. To our great surprise, we discovered that it was the same for people who were employed.
We realized that by providing 24 to 40 hours of training, we were able to get those people, including aboriginal people—
