About the LATP
The Labrador Aboriginal Training Partnership (LATP) is a partnership between the three Labrador Aboriginal groups: Innu Nation; Nunatsiavut Government (NG); and NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC). The LATP was officially launched March 8, 2010. We are proud to say that, since then, we have assisted over 2000 Aboriginal clients to explore their career choices and paths, and over 1400 of those clients have been successful in finding employment.
“The Forum aimed to improve understanding of the issues related to Aboriginal education, as they apply to HR management in mining and mineral exploration, and to the economic development of Aboriginal communities (First Nations, Métis and Inuit).”
“The goal of this research is to increase understanding among both the mining industry and Aboriginal groups of how to achieve “win-win” employment outcomes when negotiating and implementing the HR components of Aboriginal community/industry partnership agreements. This study looks specifically at the HR and training aspects of IBAs and IBA-like agreements, in order to identify successful practices — from the perspectives of both industry and Aboriginal communities.”
“The guide is a user-friendly tool for Aboriginal organizations interested in learning more about mining employment, as well as for those with a specific focus on developing mining-related training and employment opportunities for their communities.”
“Provides basic explanations on the mining sequence from exploration to mining closure, including the regulatory process, socio-economic opportunities and successful partnerships.”
“An information bulletin focusing on common issues related to Aboriginal peoples and communities involved in mining, including environmental practices, business and career opportunities.”
"The purpose of this paper is to highlight background information on the opportunities and challenges associated with Aboriginal participation in major resource development. The focus is on major resource projects in energy (oil, gas and hydro) and mining sectors in Canada.
"In this article, I argue that labor researchers in North America need to engage more thoroughly with Indigenous studies if they hope to advance social and environmental justice. First, I suggest that researchers approach Aboriginal peoples’ relationships to the environment by supporting Aboriginal rights to lands and resources. Second, and related to this point, I raise the issue of the need for Aboriginal-controlled development in northern Aboriginal communities.
