Nunavut 3000 is an opportunity to train Nunavummiut across the territory and expand the pool of experienced trades workers. Developing and delivering a program for Nunavummiut to ‘earn while they learn’ is a key objective of the Nunavut 3000 plan.

The construction activity generated by Nunavut 3000 in communities will be leveraged to help increase the number of pre-apprentices, apprentices, and skilled tradespeople in the local labour force and improve the availability of skilled workers.

Terms with respect to training obligations and labour participation will be incorporated into all relevant tenders, agreements, and contracts to build lasting construction and maintenance capacity. The Nunavut 3000 strategy will support the development of pre-apprentices, apprentices, and skilled tradespeople and improve the availability of skilled workers in the local labour force.

To support this training strategy, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was developed to help guide Nunavut Housing Corporation’s collaboration with NCCD as well as training partners such as the Department of Family Services (Apprenticeship Division) and Nunavut Arctic College (Trades School).

The objectives of the MOU are to:

• maximize training investments
• align curriculum and training resource development
• support recruitment efforts, and
• foster the development of a local labour supply

In 2023, the Nunavut 3000 plan will result in up to 80 training opportunities in the communities where new public housing building is taking place.
