Human Resources committee  Yes, just very quickly. We work very closely with Six Nations. A couple of years ago we started partnering with their training institutions to help them develop their own instructors to deliver their own training. It's been a really neat experience. We've evolved to the state now where their instructors come down and do joint PD with our instructors, and our instructors go and do PD with theirs.

Human Resources committee  I don't have an exact figure. Anecdotally, we're in that range as well. It is in the mid to high 20s.

Human Resources committee  If I had to pick one.... The Canadian Apprenticeship Forum did a study a few years ago, and found that perhaps 82% of employers who were eligible to hire an apprentice chose not to. For a myriad of reasons, they're not participating in apprenticeship programs. So if I had a wish, it would be how to engage those employers.

Human Resources committee  We've been at this a long time. I'm not going to say that we have it right, but I think we're making headway. We're getting into our high schools more. Across the country there are partnerships with colleges and high schools where we're exposing more young ladies to the trades. It's still an uphill battle; there's a perception that it's still a bit of a male-dominated trade area, so we still have some work to do.

Human Resources committee  Good morning. As Ali mentioned, one of Mohawk's strengths is in its delivery of technology, skilled trades, and apprenticeship programs. In the year 2000, Mohawk developed and still delivers a two-year technician program, in which we integrated the apprenticeship program so that students, upon graduation, have completed their two-year technician diploma and completed all levels of the apprenticeship program.
