The participation of Aboriginals in construction is higher than in all other industries in Canada.

Residential construction is a key area where Aboriginal people can develop skills and find employment. The continuing shortage of skilled workers means there are increasing opportunities for young Aboriginals to enter the job market.

The Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) has developed Construction Career Projects to help
Aboriginal people develop skills and provide opportunities to establish careers in the construction industry.

Two projects, Construction Careers Regina (CCR) and Construction Careers Saskatoon (CCS) provide the following services:

• Links to employment
• Job coaching
• Career planning
• Counselling
• Indenturing (apprenticeship)
• Technical training
• Driver license training
• Upgrading
• Safety courses
