<strong>Essential</strong> <strong>Skills</strong> and the Northern Oil and Gas Workforce Final Report and Resource Guide<br />

These skills are important for helping people to perform their jobs, from acquiring<br />

knowledge and adapting to changes in workplace requirements, to retaining employment<br />

and moving from one job to another. They help people to work safely, and to fulfill their<br />

potential at work, at home and in the community.<br />

In reviewing your agenda for the next three days, I can see that you are going to have<br />

many opportunities to learn from each other, to discuss the value of integrating essential<br />

skills into training programs and to review the preparation of workers for employment. I also<br />

noted the list of attendees for this event and I am impressed by the breadth of<br />

representation from industry, Aboriginal governments, educators, labour and nongovernment<br />

organizations.<br />

Please accept my best wishes for a successful and enjoyable event. I look forward to seeing<br />

the outcomes of this workshop.<br />

Hon. Charles Dent<br />
