CLEY seeks more on-the-job trainees

CLEY Minister Louis Tapardjuk announced plans to expand a government internship program for beneficiaries only. His announcement came as MLAs questioned policies designed specifically for beneficiaries.

The Sivuliqtiksat program creates 14 internships in government departments in Iqaluit and four decentralized communities, where interns work as directors with senior management.

Last year, nine beneficiaries took up jobs in the program. This fall, CLEY hopes to fill all 14 positions by including program coordinators and middle managers as well as directors.
