The GNWT, one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers and Top 100 Employers for 2013, is proud to announce a new innovative, ground breaking initiative to provide Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Training to all new and existing employees of the Government of the Northwest Territories. The Department of Human Resources has lead the development of this training and the modules can be viewed on DHR’s website at hr.gov.nt.ca/acat The training modules cover the importance of culture and cultural awareness, Aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories, History of the Northwest Territories from an Aboriginal perspective, and present and future issues for Aboriginal people in the NWT. The intent of the training is to provide GNWT employees with information and context for the communities and regions they live in and the residents they serve. The training is interactive and filled with a variety of learning methods. Its content is northern specific and provides historical information on government and Aboriginal relationships. The modules are made up of videos, photographs, artwork, stories, audio recordings and interactive activities designed to generate discussion. The training material is relevant, comprehensive and informative, and promotes an inclusive work environment through broadened cultural understanding.
