Northern Career Quest

NCQ unfortunately was not refunded by the Feds. It was a great run. But we will be done by Jan 31st. Glad we could help a lot of Northerners over the past 14 years.

Hopefully find out this week if we are refunded.

NCQ has re applied for four more years of Federal funding for training that leads directly to employment. We will find out in the next month is the proposal is accepted. We will keep you posted.
Aa we wrap up this current version of NCQ we are planning programs with Orano (Mill ops for Athabasca folks -10 clients); Cumberland Wood products -24 clients; Security Guards 2 programs for 24 clients; NRT - 8 clients; Ready to Work STEC programs for 24 clients; La Loche AppliedCarpentry program for 12 .clients and three other programs....busy time. The vast majority have guaranteed employment if they do well in the programs ND have a good attitude.

NCQ is in the process of applying for four years more funding from the Federal Government. If not refunded then NCQ will s**t its doors on October 31st, 2022.

It’s great to see graduates from previous programs training new trainees. Awesome job to Orano for always putting on successful Mill Operator Training Programs! ⭐️

NCQ has secured more funding for a year. Click on the link below for more info.

Saskatchewan Announces $2 million for training and employment services in Northern Saskatchewan | News and Media | Government of Saskatchewan The Government of Saskatchewan will be working with Northern Career Quest Inc. and providing approximately $2 million in funding to support training and employment services to Indigenous job seekers residing in the northern part of the province.

NCQ is wrapping up as our contract with the Federal government is coming to an end. It really has been a great 13 years! We have received funding from the Feds three times and have been able to exceed expectations every time thanks to great northern folks who really do want employment and careers.
We hope to use our remaining funds on programs that have guaranteed jobs; as we have always tried to do.
We have been fortunate over the years to provide employment oriented training for 90% of our trainees. Resulting in 3775 job opportunities for Northerners.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with this program. It by far has been the most rewarding job that I personally have had. And I have been lucky to have rewarding jobs all my career.
We will utilize all our remaining funding by the end of June. Both my colleague Danielle and myself (Steve) feel fortunate to have been part of this great program.
