Aboriginal Procurement: Shaping a Better Economic Future

Procurement is playing an increasingly important role as a tool to stimulate employment and encourage economic and business development.

• Are Aboriginal businesses making the most of these opportunities?
• What can corporate Canada do to encourage Aboriginal access to procurement opportunities?

Participate in the council’s inaugural procurement workshop and…

• Learn how Aboriginal business start-up and growth can be radically increased
• Enter into a dialogue with an expert panel with insightful thoughts
• Prepare for a powerful discussion with innovative ideas that may surprise you
• Get at least ten new ideas for business and economic development.

This workshop will give you the skills and information you need to help your company work with Aboriginal businesses and communities on procurement strategies. You’ll learn how to bring value to your organization and build relations with First Nation, Inuit and Métis people, communities and businesses.

This newly development workshop is the first-of- its-kind, designed to help you source your product and service needs with more than 27,000 Aboriginal businesses in Canada. We’ll show you where to find them, how to work with them and how to grow and expand your business through procurement.

This session will be of great interest to procurement officers and managers working in large organizations. Small and medium Aboriginal businesses will want to be there to learn what they can do to seize procurement opportunities.

This workshop is likely to sell out quickly at Inclusion Works ’10 – register early.
