A Training Program for individuals living in Yukon, NWT or Nunavut who work or would like to work or volunteer in recreation but have little or no formal training or education. Knowledge, skills and experience in the recreation field are gained while living in Northern and remote communities. Training is delivered online and through peer learning and practical assignments so that it costs less and fits with work and family commitments. Training (learning events) can be taken individually or bundled together to lead to a certificate granted upon program completion. 5

What’s in it for individuals? • More competence and confidence to do your paid or volunteer role well. • Tools and techniques to be more effective (better use of your time and resources). The ability to set priorities and have a realistic work plan with a clear focus. • Greater ability to promote community engagement, interest and participation. • Less stress and burnout in your volunteer or work roles. • Being part of a community of practice and having ongoing support and connections across the territories (a learning network and place to share ideas and obtain help to resolve issues). • More young people having the skills needed to advance careers and be positive role models for others. 7
