NRBHSS wants to grow its Inuit employment level from 30 per cent
March 10, 2014
The Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services wants to see more Inuit working within its ranks.
Inuit employment has long been a concern for the region’s major organizations, but at a recent executive committee meeting, board members pointed to the need to ensure more Inuit workers are delivering health care to their fellow Nunavimmiut.
In doing so, the health board, along with Nunavik’s two major health centres — Tulattavik in Kuujjuaq and Inuulitsivik in Puvirnituq — said they want to emphasize the fact that work opportunities are not only limited to nurses and doctors.
