Workforce Development Project, Collingwood ON, 2001-2002
In partnership with local private sector employers, Women and Rural Economic Development, Human Resources Development Canada and Grey County Social Services, Eko Nomos developed a program to encourage the integration of under- and unemployed people into available jobs in Grey and Bruce Counties. Working closely with employers such as Bay Growers’ Co-operative, Ice River Springs, Terra Footwear and Chapman’s Ice Cream, Eko Nomos assessed workforce needs and developed a customized recruitment and retention strategy for each employer.
Pre-employment Training Curriculum Development, Kativik School Board/New Economy Development Group, Nunavik Quebec, 1998-2000
In partnership with the New Economy Development Group, Eko Nomos designed and piloted a pre-employment training program for people on the Ungava Peninsula of Northern Quebec. Following the pilot delivery, we revised the program to reflect the lessons learned and developed a train-the-trainer program. This training program has since been revised and forms the basis for a variety of training programs for youth and adults in the region.
Women into Trades and Technologies National Network (WITT-NN); Corporate Retention Risk Point Identification, 1998-2001
Eko Nomos acted as lead consultant, researching, designing and delivering an employment retention service pilot. We supported WITT-NN's business strategy by training a core group of consultants to promote and deliver the service with private sector companies. The consulting service was tested at seven corporations - Mobil Oil, Suncor, Syncrude, Sable Offshore Energy Inc., Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST), Air Inuit and Canadian Pacific.
