        AND WHEREAS the Skills Task Force report, entitled “All the Skills to Succeed”, recommended 50 actions for labour, business, industry, government and education to help meet labour market demands through a co-ordinated response to labour market needs;

 

        AND WHEREAS the work of implementing this action plan has been progressing under the direction of the Industry Co-ordinating Committee (ICC), established on February 19, 2008 and comprising eleven individuals appointed to represent business, labour, industry, education, the Provincial Government and non-governmental agencies;

 

        AND WHEREAS in moving forward on this strategy, the Province is actively encouraging young people to go into trades so they are ready to benefit from emerging employment opportunities in Newfoundland and Labrador;

 

        AND WHEREAS job attachment is a critical factor in promoting youth retention in our Province, and apprenticeship is an important means by which young people trained in the trades are able to move into jobs in their areas of expertise;

 

        BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Assembly urges the Government to continue to encourage the owners of small-and medium-size businesses to make every effort to hire an apprentice;

 

        AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the House of Assembly commends the Government for its work to date in promoting apprenticeships, in particular, for entering into a partnership with the Newfoundland and Labrador Regional Council of Carpenters, Millwrights and Allied Workers and the Office to Advance Women Apprentices to provide a new subsidy program for women apprentices.”
