3.3.4 Employment <strong>and</strong> Training<br />
ExxonMobil’s commitment to developing the industrial <strong>and</strong> labour capacity, <strong>and</strong><br />
delivering benefits to host jurisdictions down to the community level (see Section<br />
1.1), also requires that ExxonMobil be committed to hiring <strong>and</strong> developing<br />
employees from the communities in which it operates, when such need arises<br />
<strong>and</strong> where long term employment is envisioned.<br />
This ExxonMobil commitment is reflected in this <strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>and</strong> consistent<br />
with its principles, which include:<br />
Promoting the development of local skills <strong>and</strong> industry<br />
capability that leaves a lasting legacy for the communities in<br />
which we operate <strong>and</strong> for the Province.<br />
The application of this commitment <strong>and</strong> principle, through this <strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> will<br />
address the ‘first consideration’ principle in the legislation, so that <strong>Newfoundl<strong>and</strong></strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Labrador</strong> residents, including members of the designated groups (women,<br />
Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities, <strong>and</strong> persons with disabilities), receive full<br />
opportunity for employment. The provision of such opportunities was viewed as a<br />
very important topic by the participants in the <strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> stakeholder<br />
consultations.<br />
For the purpose of this <strong>Benefits</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>, a <strong>Newfoundl<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Labrador</strong> resident is a<br />
Canadian or l<strong>and</strong>ed immigrant who meets the residency requirements of the<br />
Province as defined by the Elections Act, SNL 1992, CE-3.1.<br />
Employment <strong>and</strong> training initiatives will be guided by the ExxonMobil Equal<br />
Employment Opportunity Policy:<br />
It is the policy of ExxonMobil to provide equal employment<br />
opportunity, in conformance with all applicable laws <strong>and</strong><br />
regulations, to individuals who are qualified to perform job<br />
requirements. ExxonMobil administers its personnel policies,<br />
guidelines, programs <strong>and</strong> practices in a non-discriminatory manner<br />
in all aspects of the employment relationship, including recruitment,<br />
hiring, work assignment, promotion, transfer, termination, wage <strong>and</strong><br />
salary administration, <strong>and</strong> selection for training.<br />
Further to the Equal Employment Opportunity Policy, EMCP recognizes that the<br />
key to the growing use of local labour is to have a long-term view of future<br />
requirements <strong>and</strong> implement timely training programs. This is reflected in the<br />
human resources planning process described below.<br />
Human resources planning for the <strong>Project</strong> will continue to be developed <strong>and</strong><br />
refined over the life of the <strong>Project</strong>, currently estimated to be more than 30 years.<br />
Given this long duration, <strong>and</strong> the fact that the <strong>Project</strong> is in the early stages of<br />
development, this <strong>Plan</strong> does not provide a description of all of the human<br />
resources initiatives that will be used. However, where available, it will provide<br />
examples illustrative of the types of benefits initiative that will be undertaken.<br />
