The Job Horizons program, now in stage two, placed 346 individuals during the duration of phase one with an anticipated target of 400 new placements in phase two.  Currently, 232 placements have been completed which is 58 per cent of the anticipated target.  As of January 31, 2009, the project has placed a total of 578 Aboriginal workers into jobs in Alberta’s oil sands projects as well as the mining industry in Saskatchewan.  The Job Horizons program continues to inform, register and recruit northerners into the job pool for employment opportunities in these sectors.  An expansion of the program is planned to become the training facility of choice as well as the employer’s first choice for recruiting and hiring through a strategy of offering more Aboriginal workers that are registered, experienced and job ready.
