Training
In Saskatchewan, we have experienced significant success in training a professional tourism workforce. Our training programs create long-term, rewarding career opportunities to individuals from traditional and non-traditional backgrounds (including Aboriginal peoples, social assistance recipients, at-risk youth, and individuals with disAbilities).
Our training programs are derived from the National Occupational Standards developed by professionals in the tourism sector for the tourism sector and its five industries.

Over 3,300 people from 91 communities participated in training provided by STEC in 2007-2008.
Training must be recognized as an investment, not simply an expense. [...] Without the capacity to evaluate the real returns from their training investments, firms likely undervalue these returns against other sorts of investments where accounting information is more complete.
