More than half of Saskatchewan's Crown corporation employees are expected to retire by 2017. The Crowns will need to fill these jobs with educated, skilled employees. Our young and Aboriginal people are one of our greatest assets, so the Crowns want to create attractive career opportunities for them right here in Saskatchewan. CIC has announced a number of programs under this commitment:

• Major Investment in Youth
• Young People Appointed to Crown Corporation Boards
• CIC Announces Aboriginal Bursary Program
• Gradworks Internship Program Established
• New Program to Assist First Nations and Metis Students at the U of S
• New Programs to Assist Aboriginal Students at the U of R and FNUC
• CIC and U of S Partner to Address Future Labour Needs
• More Assistance for Aboriginal Students
