Description

Under Article 23 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, the Government of Canada is legally required to increase Inuit participation in government employment in the Nunavut Settlement Area to a representative level (85% Inuit as of 2016 census). Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) Iqaluit has historically had challenges recruiting and qualifying Inuit candidates into these positions. A curriculum and orientation course was previously developed with an Inuit education organization in 2022 to specifically address barriers Inuit have faced and communicated with the process.
