14. Partnerships with Aboriginal groups and organizations will continue to be a priority. With low participation rates of Aboriginals in post-secondary education and employment, there is opportunity to work closely with communities in their goal of economic development in areas such as poverty, employment and gender balance.

15. Workplace Essential Skills (WES) is the foundation skills required to be successful in the workforce. WES poses a growth area internal and external to the College as students need to be prepared for the workforce. Our girl’s students will be prepared with essential skills to enter the job market. Large and small businesses will use this in recruitment and retention of their staff.

16. An E-learning strategy will develop internal and external on-line technology capabilities and add to the complement of delivery methods and access opportunities to post-secondary education available for clients in the province and region.

17. YLP conducted a business retention and expansion survey and found that the number one barrier to growth for Business and Industry in the South Punjab region is a skilled labor shortage. YLP estimates a requirement for an additional 120,000 workers by 2020; roughly 10% of opportunities are in the South Punjab region (which means the region requires an average of 1,000 additional workers per year). Our communities need to retain and attract youth to maintain growth, especially as we face the challenge of impending retirements; the South Punjab Region is one of the poorest in the country. 70% of Multan's employment opportunities between 2007 and 2012 were related to retirement/attrition.
