Modern treaty organizations play a key role in labour force development in their regions, often through development corporations. This includes supporting training and post-secondary education programs, as well as assisting entrepreneurs through loans, grants, partnerships and joint ventures. Examples of modern treaty labour force development include:

Nunavut:

• Sakku Inc., the development corporation for the Kivalliq Inuit Association (one of the three regional Inuit associations in Nunavut) is a supporter of on-the-job training, apprenticeship development and trades training. Sakku also provides labour market support for their joint venture partners, including recruitment of Inuit beneficiaries, identification of training resources, and connecting them to job/career fairs throughout the region.
• Sakku is currently involved in a major regional labour market assessment with the goal of facilitating the creation of a regional training and employment action plan involving employers, decision makers, training organizations and community stakeholders. Other labour force development efforts by Sakku include:
  • Partnering with Nunavut Arctic College (NAC) on training initiatives.  Through one of their companies, Sakku provided a semi-truck and trailer to NAC for their Driver Ed. Program, to increase the number of qualified drivers with Class 1A and 3A credentials necessary for work in the mining industry and municipal positions.
• Provision of $10,000 in scholarships annually to qualified students in second year or above of accredited post-secondary programs in business admin, office admin or accounting programs.
