Project Profile
The objective of this project is to promote and support
the hiring of Aboriginal persons into the Apprenticeship
Branch program for the trade of Level One Cook. First
Nation, Metis, and Inuit individuals will be recruited
from the City of Winnipeg to apply in this program.
The individuals participating should have the desire
to attain the Red Seal by signing on as an Apprentice.
The basis of this pilot project is to promote Aboriginal
people in the trade of Cook. The Centre for Education
and Work's main involvement with the Apprenticeship
Branch is to use their expertise to develop the Apprenticeship
Branch's curriculum to adapt a Prior Learning Assessment
(PLA) model with a User-friendly Assessment tool.
PLA is a systemic process that looks at what a person
knows and what a person can do, which can lead to the
recognition of skills and knowledge. This is the premise
and direction of the pilot project, i.e., to develop
capacity building for Aboriginal people in the trade
of Level One Cook.
Partners including the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs,
Partners for Careers, Apprenticeship Branch have collaborated
to ensure the success of the Aboriginal candidate entering
this program.
This pilot project is the first of its kind using the
PLA in the trade of Cook. Several other trades have
used the PLA model but never from the development stages
of curriculum and assessment. The Aboriginal Cook Apprenticeship
Opportunity pilot project opens new doors for Aboriginal
people for capacity building.
