Project Manager

Manitoba Aboriginal Apprenticeship and Trades Initiative (MAAT)

The Manitoba Aboriginal Apprenticeship and Trades Initiative is designed to increase the completion rate of Aboriginal people who participate in Manitoba trades and apprenticeship programs and to promote trades and apprenticeship training in Aboriginal communities across Manitoba.

This initiative will be overseen by a governance structure consisting of Board of Directors representing Aboriginal organizations, business, government, union and education interests that influence Aboriginal participation in apprenticeships and trades in Manitoba.

The position will initially report to the Chief Operating Officer at the AHRC and take direction from a stakeholder Steering Committee. The Project Manager is responsible for working with the Steering Committee to establish the Manitoba Aboriginal Apprenticeship and Trades Initiative as a non-profit service organization, but most importantly to effectively manage and direct the MAAT Initiative implementation activities. It is anticipated that a new governance structure will be developed for the proposed not for profit organization which will eventually oversee the initiative. The project manager will play a critical role helping to achieve this transition.
