Executive Summary

Introduction and Background

The following report describes the findings of the public opinion research conducted on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) on Inuit in Nunavut and public sector employment, as well as the conclusions associated with these findings. The research included a telephone and online survey (the Nunavut Inuit Survey) with Nunavut Inuit. Focus groups were also conducted in two Nunavut communities. This public opinion research was implemented based on the objectives and activities described in Article 23 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA).

In 1993, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories (succeeded by the Government of Nunavut) and the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area, as represented by the Tunngavik Federation of Nunavut (a predecessor to Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI)), negotiated and signed the NLCA.  The signing of NLCA was followed by the passage of the Nunavut Act (1993) that led to the official creation of the territory of Nunavut on April 1, 1999.  One of the objectives identified in the NLCA was to increase participation of Inuit covered by the NLCA (NLCA Beneficiaries) in government employment in Nunavut.  In order to help increase the employment of NLCA Beneficiaries, Article 23 of the NLCA identifies the obligation of producing a Nunavut Inuit Labour Force Analysis (NILFA) “to provide a detailed analysis of the labour force of the Nunavut Settlement Area”.  Accordingly, the purpose of the NILFA is to analyze “the availability, interest and preparedness of the Inuit in Nunavut for government employment” (NLCA, Article 23.3.1) and “to assess the existing skill level and degree of formal qualification among the Inuit labour force” (NLCA, Article 23.3.2).  In order to support the development of future NILFAs, the Government of Canada’s Department of Employment and Social Development commissioned Malatest to conduct a Public Opinion Research (POR) survey (the Nunavut Inuit Survey) and focus groups among Inuit in Nunavut to identify their availability, interest, and preparedness for public sector employment.  Accordingly, this report outlines the results from the POR survey data and focus group findings.

Methodology

Data were collected through the Nunavut Inuit Survey and community focus groups. The survey was administered online and by telephone to 500 individuals who resided in Nunavut, were NLCA beneficiaries, and were between the ages of 18 and 64 years. The target of 500 completions was achieved by the survey. The survey instrument was developed in close consultation with ESDC, NTI, and the Government of Nunavut. It was approximately 18 to 20 minutes in length.

It should be noted that the 500 respondents to the survey were composed of those who had telephones (landline or cellular) and who consented to complete the survey. Therefore, they may not be representative of the entire Nunavut population.

In the following findings, the term “statistically significant” is used to denote differences between groups which were significant at p ≤ 0.05. As statistical significance is more reliably detected in larger groups, small differences between large groups can obtain statistical significance and large differences between small groups may not reach the level of statistical significance.

The focus group moderator guide was developed with ESDC, NTI, and the Government of Nunavut. Originally, one focus group was planned for Kugluktuk, two for Rankin Inlet, and two for Iqaluit. Due to inclement weather which prevented travel to Iqaluit, the Iqaluit groups were cancelled. An additional Rankin Inlet group was held. Therefore, a total of four focus groups with 29 individuals were completed. Focus groups were approximately two hours in length. As focus group research findings are qualitative and not quantitative in nature, focus group results mentioned in this report provide an indication of participants’ views, but cannot be taken to represent the views of all Inuit in Nunavut.

Main Findings

Demographic Characteristics of the Sample

In total, 500 individuals were included in the survey. The majority of survey respondents were female (63%), while the remaining one-third was male (37%). Over one-half of survey respondents reported their age as 30 to 54 years (56%), while very few respondents (3%) reported being 18 to 19 years of age (see Table A.1).

Table A.1: Age of Respondents
Age Group % of Respondents
18 to 19 years 3%
20 to 24 years 10%
25 to 29 years 13%
30 to 54 years 56%
55 years or older 16%
No response 2%
n = 500. (DE_02). In what year were you born?

Thirty-eight (38%) of respondents were from Baffin (outside of Iqaluit), 30% were from Keewatin, 19% were from Kitikmeot, and 13% were from Iqaluit.

Approximately one-half (47%) of respondents had completed a high school diploma or equivalency, and 60% had completed additional education, training, or courses. At the time of the survey, respondents were:1

Throughout the analysis, comparisons were made between respondents grouped based on their proficiency in Inuit languages (Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun) and English.2 Approximately one-quarter (22%) of respondents reported being comfortable speaking, reading, and writing in both Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun and English. An additional 31% of respondents indicated they felt comfortable speaking Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun and English (though they were not comfortable reading and writing in both English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun).

Almost two-fifths of respondents reported they worked for the government or hamlet (38%) at the time of the survey, while the remaining 62% did not. Of the 62%, two thirds were past government employees, and one third had never worked for government.

Interest

Non-government employees (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) which includes past government employees (42% of overall sample) generally perceived government employment favourably, as 89% were interested in working for a hamlet/City of Iqaluit, the Government of Nunavut, or the Government of Canada. Government positions were interesting to respondents because they were seen as offering good pay (26%), work that had an impact on the community (15%), interesting work (14%), and good benefits (13%).

Among the 62% of respondents who were not working for the government, 52% had looked for a job in the government or hamlet. Of those who had looked for a government job, 80% followed through and applied for the job. Moreover, 57% of non-government employees planned to apply for a government or hamlet job in the next year, and this proportion increased substantially when the job was known to be accepting of Inuit culture (93% would apply).

Indeed, 69% of non-government employee survey respondents (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) felt it was very important to work with people who understand Inuit culture and society.

Current government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) also reported that it was very important that their workplace supported Inuit culture. The support of their co-workers (89%) and supervisors (87%) was approximately equally important to respondents. Furthermore, most government employee respondents (71%) felt that it was very important to be able to use Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun at work, if they chose.

Approximately one-third of government employee respondents were supervised by an Inuk person (37%) while 62% were not supervised by an Inuk person. Thirty-five percent were able to speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun all the time at work. The majority of respondents reported that there were opportunities to learn about Inuit culture in their government and hamlet workplaces (71%).

Availability

Focus group participants were asked to explain their interpretation of the concept of being available to work. They felt that availability to work included being willing to take and commit to a job, and to take additional training if needed.

Sixty-two percent of the survey sample were not government employees, the majority (79%) of them reported that they would be available to work at least some months of the year. Most of these respondents also said they could work full time (74%).

Preparedness

Almost one-half (47%) of all survey respondents reported that they had a high school diploma, or an equivalency certificate such as General Educational Development, Adult Basic Education, or Pathway to Adult Secondary School. Additionally, 60% of all survey respondents said they had completed education, training, or courses beyond high school. Respondents also reported having several skills such as:

Current government employees surveyed reported having several skills with greater frequency than non-government employees. Current government employees more frequently reported having teamwork (92% of current government employees compared to 81% of non-government employees), public speaking (84% of current government employees compared to 58% of non-government employees), and typing (80% of current government employees compared to 50% of non-government employees) skills.

Community focus group participants suggested that skills they believed to be related to government employment may be learned through Inuit cultural activities. They mentioned learning the following skills from participating in family, community, and cultural experiences:

The majority (86%) of all survey respondents were not engaged in upgrading their skills at the time of the survey. The most common reasons for not engaging in education were having family responsibilities (21%), believing that they did not need additional education (16%), lacking local options for post-secondary education (11%), or lacking time (9%).

A slight majority (57%) of survey respondents not currently government employees but interested in becoming so, reported that they would need more training to work for a government or hamlet employer, while the remaining 43% felt that they already had the right skills. Respondents were less likely to have felt that they had the right skills for government employment if they did not have a post-secondary degree, diploma, or certificate..

Focus group respondents noted that one barrier to obtaining post-secondary education was a lack of access to courses within their community. Participants cited the high costs of tuition,3 travel, and living expenses as barriers to accessing education outside of the community.

Indeed, a large majority (90%) of all survey respondents would be willing to take post-secondary education or training in their home community (and at no cost). Their willingness decreased somewhat when the training was hypothetically available elsewhere in Nunavut (75%).

Current Government Employees

The following section addresses findings reported by current government employees who responded to the survey (38% of the sample, 189 individuals).

Government employee respondents who were employed by the Government of Canada (9%), the Government of Nunavut (61%), or a hamlet/City of Iqaluit (27%) during survey administration were asked about their experiences in government workplaces and how Nunavut Inuit could be supported to obtain and advance in government positions.

Current government employee respondents most frequently performed roles in education (20%), administrative support (16%), and municipal services (11%). The advantages of government work that these respondents identified were often similar to those identified by non-government employees. For example, 26% of non-government employees surveyed who were interested in government work cited the perceived pay offered by government jobs as a point of interest. Similarly, 38% of current government employees surveyed noted the rate of pay as an advantage of government work.

Though only 11% of government employees identified access to training and learning opportunities as an advantage of government employment, three-quarters (75%) of government employees reported that they had engaged in training since starting to work for a government or hamlet employer. The majority of this training (89%) was provided by the employer. In general, respondents believed their skills were being put to good use by their government and hamlet employers. High proportions of respondents reported that their English language skills (89%), formal education qualifications (80%), and reading, writing, math, and problem-solving skills (86%) were put to good use in their current position.

Approximately two-thirds (68%) of current government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) would be interested in advancing to a higher government position. They reportedly knew what steps to take to advance (84%) and believed they worked in environments conducive to advancement (75% of government employees agreed that their supervisors helped employees achieve their job goals). They suggested that more training opportunities were needed to support Nunavut Inuit advancement in government and hamlet positions (41%). In terms of Nunavut Inuit who were not yet employed by the government, government employees also believed additional training (31%) and job opportunities (15%) would support them in potential applications for government positions.

Overall, the majority of government employees reported enjoying their current workplace (89%) and 61% intended to remain in their position for at least two years (24% intended to leave and 15% did not know or did not respond). Reasons cited for intending to leave were primarily related to pursuing further education (22%) and retirement (18%).

Section 1. Introduction And Methodology

1.1 Introduction and Background

The following report describes the findings of the public opinion research conducted on behalf of Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) on Inuit in Nunavut and public sector employment, as well as the conclusions which follow from these findings. The research included a telephone and online survey (the Nunavut Inuit Survey), as well as focus groups with Inuit in Nunavut. This research was designed based on the objectives and activities described in Article 23 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA).

In 1993, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories (succeeded by the Government of Nunavut) and the Inuit of the Nunavut Settlement Area, as represented by the Tunngavik Federation of Nunavut (a predecessor to Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated (NTI)), negotiated and signed the NLCA.  The signing of the NLCA was followed by the passage of the Nunavut Act (1993) that led to the official creation of the territory of Nunavut on April 1, 1999.  One of the objectives identified in the NLCA is to increase participation of Inuit covered by the NLCA (NLCA Beneficiaries) in government employment in Nunavut to a representative level in all occupational groupings and grade levels.  In order to help increase the employment of NLCA Beneficiaries, Article 23 of the NLCA identifies the obligation of producing a Nunavut Inuit Labour Force Analysis (NILFA) “to provide a detailed analysis of the labour force of the Nunavut Settlement Area”.  Accordingly, the purpose of the NILFA is to analyze “the availability, interest and preparedness of the Inuit in Nunavut for government employment” (NLCA, Article 23.3.1) and “to assess the existing skill level and degree of formal qualification among the Inuit labour force” (NLCA, Article 23.3.2).  In order to support the development of future NILFAs, the Government of Canada’s Department of Employment and Social Development commissioned Malatest to conduct a Public Opinion Research (POR) survey (the Nunavut Inuit Survey) and focus groups among Inuit in Nunavut to identify their availability, interest, and preparedness for public sector employment.  Accordingly, this report outlines the results from the POR survey data and focus group findings.

It is anticipated that this report will be of interest to governments and hamlets in Nunavut, as well as ESDC, and that it will be used to support the development of future Labour Force Analyses on the availability, interest, and preparedness of Inuit for public sector work in Nunavut.

As with all research reports, it is recommended that the following report be read while mindful of the limitations of the research. These limitations are further discussed in Section 1.2.4, briefly they include:

1.1.1 Report Structure

The report begins with a description of the methodology used to collect and analyze the Nunavut Inuit Survey and focus group findings. To align with Article 23 of the NLCA and the purpose of the report, findings are presented by interest in, availability for, and preparedness for employment in the public sector. These sections include responses provided by individuals who were and were not government employees at the time of data collection.

The report then presents findings on how governments could motivate Nunavut Inuit to apply for and advance in government employment, as well as findings on government working conditions. These findings were collected from respondents who were Nunavut Inuit government employees at the time of data collection.

Finally, conclusions are presented which discuss the key findings and implications of the research for increased Nunavut Inuit employment in the public sector.

1.2 Methodology

Data were collected through a survey (quantitative data) and community focus groups (qualitative data). See Appendix A for a summary of community focus group findings. Each method is described further below.

1.2.1 Quantitative Data Collection

Survey Design, Cognitive Testing, and Field Testing

A telephone/online survey instrument was developed in close consultation with ESDC, NTI, and the Government of Nunavut to measure interest in, preparedness for, and availability for employment in hamlet/municipal, territorial, and federal governments. The survey also gathered current government employees’ experiences working for the government(s), and their opinions on how Inuit people in Nunavut could be encouraged to apply for and advance in government positions. In total, the survey was 18 to 20 minutes in length. The survey was registered with the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association.

The survey instrument was originally developed in English and translated into French and Inuktitut. The translated versions were independently reviewed against the English version for consistency.

Cognitive testing discussions were conducted on the English and Inuktitut versions of the draft survey instrument in Iqaluit. An interpreter provided English-Inuktitut translations during the discussions with Inuktitut-speaking participants (see Appendix B for the cognitive testing guide and recruitment screener).

Ten individuals were recruited to the English cognitive testing discussion, and three participants attended. Similarly, ten individuals were recruited to the Inuktitut cognitive testing discussion and three participants attended. Individuals were recruited to the cognitive testing groups through random calling to Iqaluit households. During the discussions, the survey questions were read aloud and participants were asked to comment on:

Based on participants’ responses, changes were made to the draft survey instrument.

The approved survey was field tested by telephone with 22 households.4 Following the first field test, revisions to survey question skip patterns were made. A second field test was conducted with 10 households. Field test calls were monitored by ESDC (see Appendix C for the survey instrument). No changes were made to the survey instrument following the second field test.

Sample Development and Eligibility Criteria

Residents of Nunavut were eligible to complete the survey if they were:

Individuals who were and were not employed by a hamlet/municipal, territorial, or federal government were eligible to participate, though different questions were targeted to individuals employed in the government.

The sample of Nunavut household telephone numbers was acquired from ASDE Survey Sampler, a private sample development firm. During survey administration, when a telephone number was discovered to be not in-service or to be a business, directory searching was completed to obtain a new telephone number for the household when possible. Following contact with a household, individuals were screened for the above eligibility criteria.

The sample was also augmented through snowball sampling. Individuals who participated in the survey were asked if any other members of their household would be willing and eligible to participate in the survey. These individuals were surveyed immediately, or an appointment was set to complete the survey.

In addition to telephone surveying, the survey was available online and in a pencil-and-paper version. Participation in the survey was promoted through several methods including:

Survey respondents were eligible to win an Apple iPad, or one of four $350 gift cards through a random draw.

Survey Programming and Surveyor Training

The finalized survey instrument was programmed into CallWeb, a CATI/CAWI system which operates on a Linux platform. The survey was programmed for both online and telephone administration. Skip logic and calculation functions were examined. The program was extensively tested to ensure that only the correct questions were asked of respondent groups. The online portion of the survey was also tested to ensure accessibility, compatibility, and comparability across all browsers, devices, and platforms of access. CallWeb was used to manage the sample, which included handling incoming calls, monitoring survey length, and tracking the call disposition of potential survey respondents within the sample.

Surveyors who were bilingual in Inuktitut and English were recruited to administer the telephone survey. They received comprehensive Malatest surveyor training as well as training specific to the Nunavut Inuit Survey. English and French-speaking surveyors were also trained to administer the survey to support the bilingual surveyors as needed. The training oriented staff to key issues associated with the project. During the training session, surveyors reviewed the questionnaire on paper and on the CallWeb system to become familiar with the wording and skip pattern logic. Interview staff participated in debriefing sessions during the first few days of survey administration to identify any presented issues associated with the survey or surveying process.

Full Survey Administration

Survey administration began on June 23, 2015 and ended by August 1, 2015. Survey administration was paused from July 3, 2015 to July 11, 2015 while a complaint that a different company was using a similar prize draw to obtain personal financial information from Nunavut residents was investigated. Prior to continuing with survey administration, the prize draw was changed and surveyors were given additional instruction on how to respond to questions regarding the legitimacy and confidentiality of the survey. They were also instructed to explain that Malatest does not collect personal financial information.

Survey respondents were given the choice to complete the survey in English, Inuktitut, or French. In total, 92% of respondents (458 individuals) chose to complete the survey in English while 8% (42 individuals) chose to complete the survey in Inuktitut.

In total, 500 individuals completed the survey. Table 1.1 lists the survey contact outcomes.

*”Language Problem” cases are those in which the surveyor could not communicate with the respondent, either because the respondent spoke a language which was not available in the survey or because there was another communication barrier.

1.2.2 Qualitative Data Collection

From July 20 to 23, 2015, four two-hour community focus groups were held in Kugluktuk5 (1 group, 18 confirmed attendance and 13 attended) and Rankin Inlet6 (3 groups, 16 confirmed attendance and 16 attended). In total, 29 individuals participated in the focus group sessions. Two focus groups were initially planned for Iqaluit as well. However, due to inclement weather which prevented travel to Iqaluit, the Iqaluit groups were cancelled.

The focus group moderator’s guide was developed in close consultation with ESDC, the Government of Nunavut, and NTI. The semi-structured guide was designed to lead participants through a discussion of their interest in, availability for, and preparedness for government employment (see Appendix D for the finalized guide and recruitment screeners). Participants were also asked if they would consider moving and what factors would be considered in their decision to move/not move for government employment.

Participants were NLCA Beneficiaries who were not government employees at the time of the sessions. Participants were invited to participate in three ways:

  1. Survey respondents who completed the survey, were not government employees, and lived in the hamlets/city where the focus groups were planned were invited to participate;
  2. Households in the hamlets/city where the focus groups were planned were called randomly to invite residents to participate. Prior to being invited, residents were screened to ensure they were NLCA Beneficiaries and were not employed by the government; and
  3. Participants were recruited to the groups by friends/family of other participants and contacts within the hamlets/city. These participants were screened by the moderator to ensure they were NLCA Beneficiaries who were not currently employed by the government.

Groups were conducted in English with interpretation into Inuinnaqtun (Kugluktuk) and Inuktitut (Rankin Inlet). At the beginning of each Rankin Inlet group, an ESDC representative introduced the study and explained the purpose of the data collection.

Throughout the groups, lists of factors that made it difficult to work for the government and factors that could be changed to make it easier for people to work for the government were developed. At the end of each group, participants were invited to participate in a “dotmocracy” activity. Each participant was given dot stickers for each list and invited to place them beside the most important points.

1.2.3 Analysis

Survey data were reviewed for completeness prior to data analysis. Data cleaning included a review for incomplete or missing data and internal record consistency, as well as search for duplicate records. Open-ended responses were coded using code lists approved by ESDC.

The fully cleaned and coded data set was analyzed using the following techniques:

All group comparisons are provided in an annex to the report.

In all quantitative analyses, a standard significance value of p ≤ 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.7 To ensure that group sizes were sufficient for analysis and to protect respondent confidentiality, results that represented groups of fewer than five respondents were not reported. In the following findings, the term “statistically significant” is used to denote differences between groups which were significant at p ≤ 0.05. As statistical significance is more reliably detected in larger groups, small differences between large groups can obtain statistical significance and large differences between small groups may not reach the level of statistical significance.

Qualitative focus group data were analyzed using an inductive content analysis, in which responses were reviewed to identify themes and areas of concurrence or divergence within and across groups. The active listing of responses on flip charts during the focus groups, and the dotmocracy activity, allowed participants to directly respond to and prioritize findings during the groups. As focus group research findings are qualitative, and not quantitative in nature, focus group results mentioned in this report provide an indication of participants’ views about the issues explored. In this context, their opinions cannot be generalized to the population represented in this study.

1.2.4 Limitations

The study was subject to the following limitations:

Non-Response Bias

Non-response bias is calculated by comparing the survey sample to the population eligible for the survey. It is conducted to determine whether the survey results are representative of the eligible population. The ability to determine the existence of non-response bias in the survey data is limited by the demographic information available about the Nunavut population, as well as the qualifying criteria that respondents must have been NLCA beneficiaries. Comparisons were made, where possible, between the survey respondents and the general Nunavut population on three variables: age, gender, and employment status (see Table 1.2).

Age comparisons were limited by the available data. Though the survey included individuals aged 18 to 64, the closest categories available through Statistics Canada are 15 to 64 years or 20 to 64 years. Based on the available Statistics Canada data, individuals aged 20-24 were somewhat under-represented in the survey sample (Statistics Canada estimates they compose 17% of the valid age range, while they composed 10% of the survey sample).

Statistics Canada reports that 51% of Nunavut residents are male and 49% were female. Women were therefore likely over-represented in the survey sample (63%), suggesting there may have been a non-response bias for men.

However, the survey employment rate (58% including government employees, private company employees, and self-employed respondents) was comparable to the employment rate posted by the Government of Nunavut (54%) suggesting there was no non-response bias by employment.10,11

The over-representation of women, the under-representation of individuals aged 20-24 years, and the absence of reliable population-level data on NLCA beneficiaries which aligns with the variables collected, suggests that survey results should not be generalized to the entire population of NLCA beneficiaries in Nunavut.

*Age range percentages are based on the total population/sample between the ages of 20 and 64 years.

**Information was not available on the definition used by the Government of Nunavut for “employed” and “unemployed”. Data were also not available to restrict the population to the 18 to 64 year age range eligible for the survey. This may explain the variation in the “unemployed” and “not in the labour force” categories.

Section 2. Findings

The following sections describe the key findings of the Nunavut Inuit Survey and the community focus groups.

2.1 Demographic Profile of Respondents

Differences between groups are described below for demographic and other relevant profile questions:

Gender and Age

The majority of survey respondents were female (63%), while the remaining one-third were male (37%). Over one-half of survey respondents reported their age as 30 to 54 years (56%), while very few respondents (3%) reported being 18 to 19 years of age (see Table 2.1).

No response 2%
n = 500. (DE_02). In what year were you born?

Region

Nunavut is often divided in three regions: Baffin, Keewatin, and Kitikmeot. The capital city, Iqaluit, is located in the Baffin region. Given that Iqaluit is the largest city in Nunavut, residents may have different experiences in Iqaluit than the rest of the Baffin region. Iqaluit was therefore separated from the Baffin region for analysis. Similar proportions of survey respondents reported living in the Baffin region, excluding Iqaluit (38%), as in Keewatin (30%) at the time of surveying (see Table 2.2).

Language Skills

Respondents were asked about which languages they felt comfortable speaking, reading, and writing. Based on the full sample of survey respondents, they were approximately equally likely to report being comfortable speaking Inuktitut (75%) and English (74%), they were more likely to report being comfortable reading (86% were comfortable reading English, 45% were comfortable reading Inuktitut) and writing (86% were comfortable writing in English, 46% were comfortable writing in Inuktitut) in English than in Inuktitut (see Table 2.3).

Table 2.3: Language Proficiency
Question Inuktitut Inuinnaqtun English French
Languages comfortable speaking 75% 3% 74% 1%
Languages comfortable reading 45% 2% 86% 1%

n = 500. (PR_01c). Which languages are you comfortable writing (Totals may be over 100% due to multiple responses).

Region of residence was commonly associated with language skills. Respondents who lived in the Baffin region (outside of Iqaluit), said they were more comfortable speaking Inuktitut (see Table 2.4). Respondents were also more comfortable reading and writing Inuktitut in the Baffin region outside of Iqaluit, Iqaluit, and Keewatin region than those in Kitikmeot. In contrast, respondents said they were more comfortable speaking, reading, and writing English when they lived in Kitikmeot region, Iqaluit, and Keewatin region than those in the rest of the Baffin region.13

Note: Regional language differences in French and Inuinnaqtun could not be reported due to small sample sizes.

Age and gender differences were also evident.14 Respondents aged 30 to 54 years were more likely to report being comfortable speaking Inuktitut than those aged 18 to 24 years. Respondents aged 55 years and older were reportedly less comfortable speaking English than those aged 18 to 24 years. No other statistically significant age differences were evident (see Table 2.5).

Rows do not add to 100% due to multiple responses.

Female respondents were more likely to report being comfortable writing Inuktitut (52%) than male respondents (37%); though they were not statistically significantly more likely to report being comfortable writing in English (86% of female respondents and 88% of male respondents). Gender differences were not evident in respondents’ reported comfort speaking Inuktitut and English (77% of female respondents were comfortable in Inuktitut and 73% of female respondents were comfortable in English; 75% of male respondents were comfortable in Inuktitut and 77% of male respondents were comfortable in English). Statistically significant gender differences were also not evident in respondents’ reported comfort reading Inuktitut and English (50% of female respondents were comfortable in Inuktitut and 85% of female respondents were comfortable in English; 37% of male respondents were comfortable in Inuktitut and 88% of male respondents were comfortable in English).

As well, respondents who were interested in government work were more likely to report being comfortable writing English (88%) than those not interested in government work (67%). Though differences were not evident in comfort speaking and reading English. Seventy-four percent of those interested in government work were comfortable speaking and 86% were comfortable reading English. In comparison, 59% of those not interested in government work were comfortable speaking and 70% were comfortable reading English. This may reflect the perception (as expressed in the focus groups), that English is predominantly used in government work, and that government work is often office based (requiring writing skills).

Language Comparison Groups: Throughout the analysis, comparisons were made between respondents grouped based on their reported proficiency in Inuit languages (Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun) and English.15 They were then divided into groups based on whether they felt comfortable speaking, reading, and writing in English and/or Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun (see Table 2.6):

Note: “Other” refers to individuals who had English, Inuktitut, and/or Inuinnaqtun skills, but who were not fully literate in any of these languages (e.g., they indicated they were not comfortable reading or writing).

Note: No respondents were identified as unilingual in French or Inuinnaqtun. All respondents who were comfortable speaking, reading, or writing in French were also comfortable doing so in English.

As displayed in Table 2.7, comprehensive bilingual respondents were more likely to be female than were conversational bilingual respondents. Gender differences between unilingual English and unilingual Inuktitut respondents were not statistically significant.

Additionally, respondents who lived in the Baffin region, outside of Iqaluit, were statistically significantly more likely to be classified as unilingual in Inuktitut than any other language group. Kitikmeot residents were more likely to be classified as unilingual Anglophones than any other language group. No other statistically significant differences by region and language were evident. There were no statistically significant age differences between language groups.

Family Responsibilities, Participation in Inuit Cultural Activities, and Engagement in Education

As demonstrated in Table 2.8, the majority of survey respondents reported they engaged in cultural activities such as hunting, fishing, sewing, and carving (79%) and/or had family responsibilities (70%). Participating in cultural activities did not vary in a statistically significant manner by gender or age, as men (80%) and women (79%) were equally likely to report engaging in cultural activities, as were those aged 18 to 24 (77%), 25 to 29 (88%), 30 to 54 (78%), and 55 years or older (80%). Respondents in the various regions were approximately equally likely to report engaging in cultural activities (82% of those in Iqaluit, 79% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 79% of those in Keewatin, and 81% of those in Kitikmeot).

The differences between the proportion of women (73%) and men (67%) who reported having family responsibilities was not statistically significant; however, more respondents with family responsibilities were aged 30 to 54 years (73%) or 25 to 29 years (79%). Fewer respondents with family responsibilities were aged 55 years or older (53%). Respondents aged 18 to 24 (70%) were not statistically significantly different from the other groups.

Respondents living in Iqaluit (55%) were also less likely to have reported having family responsibilities than those in the remainder of Baffin region (74%), the Kitikmeot region (79%), or the Keewatin region (69%).

One-fifth of respondents reported they were enrolled in education or a training program (21%). There were no statistically significant differences between age groups in terms of enrollment in education or training at the time of the survey. Statistically similar proportions of respondents were enrolled in education or training among 18 to 24 year olds (29% were enrolled), 25 to 29 year olds (32% were enrolled), 30 to 54 year olds (18% were enrolled), and respondents aged 55 years and older (15% were enrolled).

There was no statistically significant difference between the proportion of women (20%) and men (22%) who reported being enrolled in education or training at the time of the survey.

Employment

As demonstrated in Table 2.9, a high proportion of the sample reported not being employed in the wage economy (42%), they were neither government employees nor private employees, nor were they self-employed.

Current government employee 38%

Note: Respondents not employed in the wage economy include those who indicated that they were not employed by the government or another organization, or self-employed. It includes individuals who had family responsibilities, engaged in cultural activities, and were enrolled in education at the time of the survey.

Those respondents who were not employed in the wage economy, however, frequently had family responsibilities (78%) and were more likely to be women (65%) than men (35%). Respondents who reported being employed by a private company or Inuit organization were equally divided between men (50%) and women (50%) and almost one quarter were engaged in education or training during survey administration (22%). Self-employed individuals were somewhat more likely to be men (54%) than women (46%), and frequently reported having family responsibilities (73%). A high proportion of respondents from all employment groups reported engaging in cultural activities (see Table 2.10).

Government Employment History and Role

Almost two-fifths of respondents reported they worked for the government or hamlet (38%) at the time of the survey. Additionally, 42% of survey respondents reported they had been government employees in the past, while 20% had never been employed by the government or hamlet. In total, 62% reported they were not employed by the government at the time of the survey (see Table 2.11).

Most of the current government employees were female (69%). Similarly, respondents were more likely to have reported being current government employees if they lived in Iqaluit (64% were government employees) than the rest of Baffin region (28% were government employees), Keewatin (40% were government employees), or Kitikmeot (35% were government employees).

Probit regression17 confirmed that respondents had a greater probability of being employed by the government or hamlet if they were female (.254) or lived in Iqaluit (.733). It also revealed that respondents were less likely to have been government or hamlet employees if they had completed less than a high school diploma (grade 10 or 11: -.421; less than grade 10: -.832), compared to those with a high school diploma or post-secondary degree, certificate, or diploma.

The majority of current government employees (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) reported that they had family responsibilities (68%) and/or engaged in cultural activities (82%).

Among current government employees, 26% reported that they had a supervisory or management role and 74% reported they had a non-supervisory role. As demonstrated below (see Table 2.12), there were no statistically significant differences in likelihood of being a supervisor by gender, age, language, or geographic groups.

2.2 Interest

2.2.1 Interest Summary

The following section describes respondents’ reported interest in government employment, and the factors that contributed to their interest. There are three levels of government in Nunavut: municipal corporations (hamlets and the City of Iqaluit); the territorial government, the Government of Nunavut and its agencies (such as Nunavut Arctic College (NAC), Nunavut Housing Corporation, and Qulliq Energy Corporation); and the federal government, the Government of Canada.

Among the 62% (311 individuals) of survey respondents who were not current government employees, 89% reported being interested in obtaining employment in at least one level of government. As demonstrated in Table 2.13, individuals over the age of 54, unilingual in Inuktitut, and engaged in family or cultural activities rather than the wage economy were statistically significantly less likely to be interested in government employment than others.

Among respondents who were not current government employees (62% of the sample, 311 individuals), 45% reported they were interested in working for the hamlet or City of Iqaluit, 58% reported they were interested in working for the Government of Nunavut, and 51% reported they were interested in working for the Government of Canada. Interest in government employment was related to the level of education achieved; focus group participants believed that not having a high school diploma reduced their likelihood of being employed in the government.

Unprompted responses from survey respondents who were not current government employees and who were interested in government work suggested government jobs were interesting due to their pay (26%), the difference they could make in the economy or community (15%), and/or the challenging and interesting work (14%) they provide. When asked what types of government jobs interested them, survey respondents most frequently reported being interested in outdoor work (68%), teaching Inuit cultural activities (60%), and/or administrative support work (51%).

Approximately one-half (52%) of respondents not currently working for the government or hamlet (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) reportedly have looked for a job in the government or hamlet in the past. Additionally, over one-half of non-government employee survey respondents (57%) said they planned to apply for a job in the government or hamlet over the next year.

Among respondents who were not government employees and did not plan to apply for a job in the government or hamlet (134 individuals), 83% said they would do so if they knew it was a workplace where Inuit culture was supported. Moreover, most non-government employee respondents believed that having co-workers who speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun (61%) and understand Inuit culture or society (69%) was very important.

2.2.2 Interest in Government Employment

Among respondents who were not current government employees (62% of the sample, 311 individuals), 45% reported they were interested in working for the hamlet or City of Iqaluit, 58% reported they were interested in working for the Government of Nunavut, and 51% reported they were interested in working for the Government of Canada (see Table 2.14).

Note: Dashes indicate that the cell was redacted to maintain respondent confidentiality.

As demonstrated in Table 2.15, respondents’ frequency of reporting being somewhat or very interested in government employment at each level did not statistically significantly vary by gender, age, or language proficiency. However, respondents’ interest in Government of Nunavut employment was highest among respondents living in the Kitikmeot region (70%), compared to other regions of Nunavut (46% to 59%). Similarly, respondents enrolled in education were more likely to have reported being interested in Government of Nunavut employment (81%) than those not enrolled in education (56%). Statistically significant differences were not evident by gender, age, enrolment in education, region, or language for interest in Government of Canada or hamlet or City of Iqaluit employment.

Focus group respondents suggested that a barrier to their interest in government employment was not being able to demonstrate the skills learned through experience outside of formal education and paid work, because they believed that it was difficult to provide evidence that they had these skills in a résumé or interview. Focus group respondents believed this was primarily a barrier for older individuals.

The results of a probit regression, which excluded individuals already employed in the government, confirmed that respondents had a greater probability of being interested in government work at any level if they were younger (continuous age coefficient = -.034). However, results also suggest that those who had a grade 10 or 11 education were less likely to have been interested in government employment (-.659).18 Gender and region of residence did not statistically significantly enter into the probit regression model.

As well, focus group participants were aware that not having a high school diploma reduced their likelihood of being employed in the government, as they cited not having formal educational qualifications (such as high school and post-secondary degrees) as a reason for not being interested in pursuing government employment.

Interest in Work Tasks

Focus group participants suggested that the jobs or tasks offered by government employers had an impact on their interest in seeking government work. Respondents indicated that the types of jobs available (such as trades) were one factor that increased their interest in government work, while a perception that government jobs frequently involved indoor office work decreased their interest.

Survey responses corroborate focus group results, as respondents who were interested in government work (89% of the 62% of the sample who were not government employees) were most likely to report being interested in outdoor work (68%). They also said they were interested in teaching Inuit cultural activities (60%) and/or administrative support work (51%) (see Table 2.16). There were statistically significant differences in interest in work types by gender, language groups, participation in Inuit cultural activities, family responsibilities, and engagement in education at the time of the survey.

Gender: Cross-tabulation analysis revealed substantial gender differences in the types of work that interested respondents. For example, female respondents tended to report being more interested in professions that involved supporting their community members directly through education, healthcare, social and mental health services, and court work; while male respondents reported being interested in outdoor work that involved equipment. One exception is trucked services, which support communities directly and in which men were more interested.

Female respondents were more likely than male respondents to report being interested in:

Alternatively, male respondents were more likely than female respondents to report being interested in:

No statistically significant gender differences were evident in reported interest in:

Language: Statistically significant differences in interest were also evident among language groups in:

Statistically significant differences were not evident between language groups in reported interest in:

Engagement in Cultural Activities: Respondents who reported participating in Inuit cultural activities (such as hunting, fishing, sewing, carving, and other activities) were more likely than those who did not participate in cultural activities to have reported being interested in all areas of work. Specifically, respondents who engaged in Inuit cultural activities were more likely to report being interested in:

Given that respondents who reported engaging in cultural activities were more likely than those who did not to report interest in many types of work, the following potential intervening variables were examined:

Therefore, the relationship between engaging in cultural activities and interest in work types may be influenced by educational achievement.

Family Responsibilities: Respondents with family responsibilities were more likely than those without family responsibilities to have reported being interested in almost all areas of work. Specifically, they were more interested in:

Given that respondents who reported having family responsibilities were more likely to report an interest in many types of work, the following potential intervening variables were examined:

Therefore, among the variables examined, no intervening variables were evident.

Engagement in Education: Respondents who were engaged in education or training at the time of the survey were more likely to have reported being interested in employment in the education sector (62% of those engaged in education compared to 36% of those not engaged in education) or in management positions (52% of those engaged in education compared to 36% of those not engaged in education). Statistically significant differences were not evident in reported interest in other types of work.

Respondents in different age groups and different regions of Nunavut did not statistically significantly differ in their interest in any type of work.

Reasons for Interest in Government or Hamlet Work

Focus group respondents suggested that government jobs were interesting because they thought they offered good job security and high pay.

Unprompted responses20 from survey respondents who were not current government employees, and who were interested in government work, also reported being interested in government jobs due to the pay (26%) (see Table 2.17). Respondents’ comments suggested that they were more likely to be interested in government work because it could make a difference in the economy or community (15%) or provide challenging and interesting work (14%) than because it provided job security (9%).

Focus group results suggest that the perception of a preponderance of office work was a reason for not being interested in government work.

However, among survey respondents who were not current government employees, and who were interested in government work, office work was towards the middle of their list of reasons for being interested in government work. Survey respondents without family responsibilities, were twice (18%) as likely as those with family responsibilities (9%) to report that office work contributed to their interest in government employment.

Table 2.17: Reason for Interest in Government or Hamlet Work
Reasons for Interest % of Respondents

Respondents’ reported reasons for being interested in government work did not vary in a statistically significant manner by gender, age, region of residence, or language group. This may be due to the small group sizes which resulted from a large number of response options.

2.2.3 Past and Future Intentions to Apply for Government Employment

Survey results suggested that it was relatively common for respondents to have sought government employment. Approximately one-half (52%) of respondents not currently working for the government or hamlet (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) reportedly have looked for a job in the government or hamlet in the past. Respondents who were interested in working in at least one level of government were more likely to report that they have looked for a job in the government or hamlet (55% had looked) than those not interested in government work (31% had looked). Respondents who reported looking for a government job did not statistically significantly differ by gender (51% of female respondents, 56% of male respondents), age (53% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 68% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 50% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 52% of those aged 55 years and older), region (42% of those in Iqaluit, 51% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 57% of those in Keewatin, 57% of those in Kitikmeot), or language group (47% of comprehensive bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun, 64% of conversational bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun, 60% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 49% of those unilingual in English).

The majority of those who looked for a job in government (52%) reported that they applied for a job or position in government (80%). The proportion of respondents who reported they had applied for a government job did not statistically significantly differ by gender (81% of female respondents, 77% of male respondents), age (72% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 87% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 81% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 71% of those aged 55 years and older), region of Nunavut (70% of those in Iqaluit, 82% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 76% of those in Keewatin, 80% of those in Kitikmeot), or language group (73% of comprehensive bilinguals, 80% of conversational bilinguals, 67% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 100% of those unilingual in English).

Among survey respondents who were non-government employees (62%, 311 individuals), 57% said they planned to apply for a job in the government or hamlet over the next year, while 43% would not. Among the respondents who did not intend to apply for a job in the government, 58% said they would do so if there was a job located in their community (38% would not, 4% did not know). Among all non-government employee survey respondents, therefore, an additional 25% reported that they would plan to apply for a government or hamlet job over the next year if it was located in their community.

Respondents who were not government employees and who lived in Iqaluit were less likely to report they plan to apply for a government or hamlet job in the future (33% of those who lived in Iqaluit, compared to 63% of respondents in the rest of Baffin region, 65% of respondents in the Keewatin region, or 65% of respondents in the Kitikmeot region). Plans to apply for government jobs in the next year did not vary in a statistically significant manner based on gender (61% of female respondents, 62% of male respondents), age (63% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 70% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 63% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 49% of those aged 55 years or older), or language group (69% of comprehensive bilinguals, 62% of conversational bilinguals, 59% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 67% of those unilingual in English). Respondents were also not more likely to report willingness to apply for government jobs in their community by gender (59% of female respondents, 62% of male respondents), age (53% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 69% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 68% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 43% of those aged 55 years and older), region (44% of respondents in Iqaluit, 65% of respondents in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 53% of respondents in Keewatin, 71% of respondents in Kitikmeot), or language groups (75% of comprehensive bilinguals, 66% of conversational bilinguals, 47% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 48% of those unilingual in English).

Based on the total sample of survey respondents, respondents reported that they sought government employment through the Internet (26%), community bulletin boards (23%), local hamlet (22%) or Government of Nunavut sources (20%) (such as the Government of Nunavut website and flyers), or in newspapers (22%). Respondents were more likely to report seeking employment opportunities on the Internet if they:

Differences between age groups, genders, and education engagement on their reported likelihood of seeking government employment through the Internet were not statistically significant:

Respondents were more likely to report seeking employment opportunities through local hamlet or Government of Nunavut sources if they:

2.2.4 Importance of Inuit Language and Culture in the Workplace

Non-Government Employees

Among non-government employees (62% of the sample, 311 individuals), the majority believed that having co-workers who speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun (61%) and understand Inuit culture or society (69%) was very important (see Table 2.19). Working in an environment where Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun was spoken was reportedly more important to respondents aged 30 to 54 years (86%) or 55 years and older (92%), than those aged 18 to 24 years (66%; respondents aged 25 to 29 years were not statistically significantly different from the other groups, 81%).

The proportion of respondents who believed it was very or somewhat important to work with people who spoke Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun did not vary in a statistically significant manner by gender (86% of female respondents, 81% of male respondents), region (91% of those in Iqaluit, 83% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 87% of those in Keewatin, 78% of those in Kitikmeot), or language group (91% of comprehensive bilinguals, 82% of conversational bilinguals, 94% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 72% of those unilingual in English). Similarly, the proportion of respondents who believed it was very or somewhat important to work with people who understand Inuit culture and society did not statistically significantly differ by gender (91% of female respondents, 87% of male respondents), age (80% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 84% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 91% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 96% of those aged 55 years and older), region (91% of those in Iqaluit, 91% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 84% of those in Keewatin, 92% of those in Kitikmeot), or language group (98% of comprehensive bilinguals, 88% of conversational bilinguals, 94% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 91% of those unilingual in English).

Among respondents who reported they did not plan to apply for a job in the government or hamlet (43% of non-government employees), 83% said they would do so if they knew it was a workplace where Inuit culture was supported. Of the entire sample of non-government employee respondents (62%, 311 individuals), this represents an additional 36% who stated they would apply for a job if they knew Inuit culture was supported. The relationship between plans to apply for government positions and culturally supportive workplaces is demonstrated in Figure 2.20.

Figure 2.20: Relationship between Plans to Apply for a Government Job and Workplace Support for Inuit Culture

Figure 2.20: Relationship between Plans to Apply for a Government Job and Workplace Support for Inuit Culture

Though those interested in government work were more likely to have said that they would apply for a job in the next year if they knew it were a workplace that supported Inuit culture (93%), those not interested in government work (77%) were also highly likely to say they would apply to a workplace supportive of Inuit culture. Respondents with family responsibilities were also more likely to apply to work in a workplace they knew to be supportive of Inuit culture (94%) than those who did not have family responsibilities (82%).

Reported likelihood of applying for a government job if it was known to be a workplace in which Inuit culture was supported did not differ in a statistically significant manner between groups based on gender, age, region, or language (see Table 2.21).21

Indeed, focus group respondents suggested that positive working relationships, cultivated by working with individuals who are familiar with Nunavut and Inuit culture, was a factor which influenced their interest in government work.

Government Employees

Current government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) were predominantly female and between the ages of 30 to 54 years (see Table 2.22). Approximately one-third resided in Keewatin and one-fifth resided in Kitikmeot. They most frequently reported being comfortable at least speaking both English and Inuktitut (conversational bilinguals), if not also being comfortable reading and writing English and Inuktitut (comprehensive bilinguals). The majority of current government employee respondents reported having completed education or training beyond high school.

In general, it was very important to current government employee respondents that their government/hamlet workplace supported Inuit culture. The support of their co-workers (89%) and supervisors (87%) for Inuit culture in the workplace was approximately equally important (very important or somewhat important) to respondents (see Table 2.23).

Responses with fewer than five respondents removed to maintain confidentiality.

Note: The “Not Important” category includes “Not very important” and “Not at all important” responses.

Respondents who were comprehensive bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun were more likely than their unilingual English counterparts to report that co-worker support of Inuit culture in the workplace was very or somewhat important (see Table 2.24). Conversational bilingual and unilingual Inuktitut respondents were not statistically significantly different from comprehensive bilinguals.

The proportion of government employee respondents who reported it was somewhat or very important for their co-workers to support Inuit culture did not statistically significantly vary by gender, age, or region (see Table 2.24).

Similarly, the proportion of respondents who reported it was somewhat or very important for their supervisor to support Inuit culture did not statistically significantly vary by gender (84% among females, 93% among males), age (78% among those aged 18 to 24 years, 81% among those aged 25 to 29 years, 89% among those aged 30 to 54 years, 88% among those aged 55 years and older), region (95% among those living in Iqaluit, 83% among those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 91% among those living in Keewatin, 76% among those living in Kitikmeot), or language (94% among those who are comprehensive bilingual, 84% among those who are conversational bilingual, 77% among those who are unilingual Inuktitut, 88% among those who are unilingual English).

The relationship between the importance of supervisor or co-worker support for Inuit culture and government employees’ workplace satisfaction was also examined. Though no statistically significant relationship was apparent, this may be due to low sample sizes as the majority of respondents who indicated that supervisor support was somewhat or very important agreed (agreed and strongly agreed) that they enjoyed their current workplace (87% supervisor support, 88% co-worker support).

Supervision: Approximately one-third (37%) of government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) reported they were supervised by an Inuk person while 62% indicated they were not supervised by an Inuk person.22 Male respondents more commonly reported they were supervised by an Inuk person (53%) than female respondents (30%). There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of respondents who reported being supervised by an Inuk person by age (59% among those aged 18 to 24 years, 55% among those aged 25 to 29 years, 32% among those aged 30 to 54 years, 35% among those aged 55 years and older), region (24% of those living in Iqaluit, 50% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 34% of those living in Keewatin, 41% of those living in Kitikmeot), or language (31% among those who are comprehensive bilingual, 44% among those who are conversational bilingual, 50% among those who are unilingual Inuktitut, 32% among those who are unilingual English).

Gender differences in whether or not government employees reported they were supervised by an Inuk person and had opportunities to learn about Inuit culture at work may have been related to the level of government in which they were employed. Women were more likely to work for the Government of Nunavut (73% of female respondents compared to 40% of male respondents) while men were more likely to work for a hamlet or the City of Iqaluit (51% of male respondents were employed by a hamlet/Iqaluit, compared to 18% of female respondents) (see Section 2.5.2).

Opportunities to learn about Inuit culture: The majority of government employee respondents reported that there were opportunities to learn about Inuit culture in their government and hamlet workplaces (71%). Female respondents more frequently reported that there were opportunities to learn about Inuit culture at their workplace (78%) than male respondents (63%). No statistically significant differences were evident between comprehensive bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun (85%), conversational bilinguals (75%), respondents unilingual in Inuktitut (67%), and respondents unilingual in English (68%). There were also no statistically significant differences by age (78% among those aged 18 to 24 years old, 50% among those aged 25 to 29 years old, 77% among those aged 30 to 54 years old, 84% among those aged 55 years and older) or region (79% of those living in Iqaluit, 73% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 75% of those living in Keewatin, 66% of those living in Kitikmeot).

Importance of Use of Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun in Government Workplaces

Most (71%) government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) felt that it was very important that they be able to use Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun at work, if they so chose (see Table 2.25). A majority felt it was also very important for supervisors (52%) and co-workers (60%) to use Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun.

Table 2.25: Importance of Inuit Language Use in the Workplace
How important is it… Very Important Somewhat Important Neutral Not Important

Responses with fewer than five respondents removed to maintain confidentiality.

Note: The “Not Important” category includes “Not very important” and “Not at all important” responses.

Being able to use Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun at work was, reportedly, particularly important (somewhat important and very important) to government employee respondents aged 30 to 54 and 55 years or older, compared to respondents aged 25 to 29 years and 18 to 24 years. Similarly, more respondents aged 18 to 24, 30 to 54, and 55 years or older, compared to those aged 25 to 29 years reported that having a supervisor who speaks Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun was important (see Table 2.26).

As well, government employee respondents who were not engaged in continuing education at the time of the survey were more likely to have reported that being able to speak Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun at work was important (92%) than those engaged in education (77%).

The proportion of respondents who reported that being able to speak Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun at work, having a supervisor who spoke Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun, and having co-workers who spoke Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun did not differ in a statistically significant manner by gender, region, or language. The reported importance of having co-workers who spoke Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun was also not significantly different by age (see Table 2.26).

Use of Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun in Government Workplaces

Though 71% of government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) felt it was very important to be able to use Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun at work, a smaller proportion (66%) reported they were able to use these languages all (35%) or most (31%) of the time (see Table 2.27). The ability to work in Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun all or most of the time was more commonly reported by participants who lived in the Baffin (outside of Iqaluit) (83%) and Keewatin regions (76%), than in Iqaluit (45%) or Kitikmeot (45%). It was also more common among respondents aged 30 to 54 years (72%) or 55 years and older (73%) compared to those aged 25 to 29 (36%) and 18 to 24 (56%) years. Reportedly being able to work in Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun always or most of the time did not statistically significantly differ by gender (67% of female respondents, 64% of male respondents).

As stated above, 60% of government employee respondents felt it was very important that their co-workers speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun, and 92% reported that their co-workers do speak an Inuit language at least some of the time. In contrast, only 40% of respondents reported that their supervisors could speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun (see Table 2.28).

Female respondents were more likely to have reported that their supervisor never spoke Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun (65%) than male respondents (44%). Respondents who lived in Iqaluit were more likely to have reported that their supervisor did not speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun (85%) than those who lived in the rest of the Baffin (47%) or Keewatin (46%) regions. Respondents in the Kitikmeot region (61%) were not statistically significantly different from the other groups. There were no statistically significant differences between language groups in the proportion who reported that their supervisors never spoke Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun (62% among those who were comprehensive bilingual, 48% among those who were conversational bilingual, 41% among those who were unilingual Inuktitut, 75% among those who were unilingual English). The lack of statistically significant differences may be due to small sample sizes.23 There were also no statistically significant differences by gender or age. There were no statistically significant differences in respondents’ reports on the frequency with which their co-workers spoke Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun by gender, age, or region.24

The divide in Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun knowledge between respondents’ co-workers and supervisors is discussed in greater depth in the conclusions (Section 3).

2.3 Availability

2.3.1 Availability Summary

The following section describes findings related to the reported availability of Nunavut Inuit for government employment. Findings address respondents’ availability throughout the year, barriers to their availability, and factors they said were related to their availability to move for employment.

Approximately one-third of non-government employee respondents (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) reported that they were too busy to be available to work for the government or hamlet (30%), while one-quarter (23%) indicated that they had health problems which would make it impossible to work in the government. Almost one-half of respondents felt they would be available to work in the government or hamlet at any time throughout the year (46%), while one-fifth would be available most months of the year (20%).

Focus group participants suggested that caring for family members, challenges communicating their skills to employers, physical and mental health issues, criminal records, a perceived preference to hire individuals from outside of Nunavut, the work schedule, and being unable to relocate were barriers to their availability for government work.

2.3.2 Availability for Government Employment

Focus group participants were asked to explain their interpretation of the concept of being available to work. They felt that availability to work included being willing to take and commit to a job, and to take additional training if needed. Having quality, affordable child or Elder care support (e.g., daycares, home care, Elder housing) was also believed to be key to being available to work.

Approximately one-third (30%) of non-government employee survey respondents (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) reported that they were too busy to be available to work for the government or hamlet, while another one-third reported that they were not too busy (32%). The remaining one-third neither agreed nor disagreed that they were too busy (32%).25

The extent to which respondents reported being too busy to work for the government or hamlet was not statistically related to respondents having family responsibilities (32% of those with family responsibilities were too busy compared to 28% of those without family responsibilities), being involved in cultural activities (29% of those who participated in cultural activities were too busy compared to 35% of those not engaged in cultural activities), or being employed (30% of those who were employed were too busy compared to 32% of those who were not employed). It was also not statistically significantly related to gender (30% of female respondents, 32% of male respondents), age (35% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 30% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 27% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 36% of those aged 55 years and older), region (21% of respondents residing in Iqaluit, 32% of respondents residing in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 27% of respondents residing in Keewatin, 37% of respondents residing in Kitikmeot), or language group (30% of those who were comprehensive bilingual, 32% of those who were conversational bilingual, 41% of those who were unilingual in Inuktitut, 23% of those who were unilingual in English).

As demonstrated in Table 2.29, almost one-half of respondents who were not government employees felt they would be available to work in the government or hamlet at any time throughout the year (46%), while one-fifth would be available most months of the year (20%).26

Reported availability to work at any time throughout the year did not vary in a statistically significant manner by gender (45% of females, 53% of males), age (43% among those aged 18 to 24 years, 54% among those aged 25 to 29 years, 48% among those aged 30 to 54 years, 50% among those aged 55 years or older), region (43% of those living in Iqaluit, 48% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 49% of those living in Keewatin, 50% of those living in Kitikmeot), or language group (44% among those who are comprehensive bilingual, 46% among those who are conversational bilingual, 61% among those who are unilingual Inuktitut, 49% among those who are unilingual English).

Most of the respondents who reported they would be available to work for the government or hamlet during at least some part of the year (79%), could work full time (74%), while a minority could work part time (22%), casually (19%), or on-call (13%).27 The amount of time respondents reported they could work was not related to gender, age, region of residence, or language. For example, similar proportions of respondents were available to work full time regardless of gender (73% of female respondents, 76% of male respondents), age (73% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 85% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 75% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 66% of those aged 55 years and older), region (79% of respondents in Iqaluit, 73% of respondents in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 75% of respondents in Keewatin, 75% of respondents in Kitikmeot), or language group (81% of comprehensive bilinguals, 74% of conversational bilinguals, 67% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 76% of those unilingual in English).

Barriers to Availability and Relocation Considerations

Focus group participants suggested that the following factors were barriers to their availability to work:

Focus group participants noted several considerations that would influence their decision to move to gain employment including:

Though physical and mental health difficulties were cited as a barrier to being available for government work by focus group participants, the majority of non-government employee survey respondents did not report having any health problems that prevented them from working in the government or hamlet (56%), though approximately one-quarter did report that they had health problems which would make it impossible to work in the government (23%). The proportion of respondents who reported having health problems which affected their availability for work was not statistically significantly related to their gender (23% of females, 25% of males), age (19% among those aged 18 to 24 years, 20% among those aged 25 to 29 years, 23% among those aged 30 to 54 years, 32% among those aged 55 years or older),29 region (27% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 25% of those living in Keewatin, 21% of those living in Kitikmeot),30 or language group (22% of those who were comprehensive bilingual, 25% of those who were conversational bilingual, 30% of those who were unilingual Inuktitut, 21% of those who were unilingual English).31

Availability of Respondents Interested in Government Employment

Respondents who were interested in government work were more likely to believe they would be available for work, and to be available for at least most of the year. Only 10% of respondents who were interested in government work reported they probably would not be available to work, compared to 23% of those not interested in government employment.

Indeed, non-government employee respondents’ availability for full-time work may be related to their interest in government positions. Approximately one-half (55%) of respondents who were not interested in government work noted that they cannot or do not wish to work in a full-time or in a permanent position as the reason for their disinterest.

As demonstrated in Figure 2.30, the majority of respondents who were interested in government work also indicated that they would be available anytime or most of the time throughout the year.

The preparedness section describes the skills, education, and training which respondents reported they had obtained. The type of training respondents indicated being engaged in at the time of the survey, as well as their reported willingness to engage in additional training were also examined.

Approximately one-half (47%) of all survey respondents reported they had completed a high school diploma or equivalent, while the remaining 53% had not done so. A greater proportion of respondents, however, indicated that they had completed post-secondary education, training, or courses (60%). Based on respondent reports, these post-secondary qualifications were most frequently diplomas or certificates from the NAC (39%), workplace health and safety certificates (17%), or trade or apprenticeship certificates or diplomas (16%).

Based on the entire sample of survey respondents, respondents reported having several skills deemed applicable to government work, including teamwork (89%), communication skills (73%), computer and Internet skills (71%), and typing and writing skills (67%). Despite the high proportion of respondents who reported having work-related skills, a slight majority (57%) of respondents who were non-government employees (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) and interested in government employment (89% of non-government employees) felt that they would need more training to work for a government or hamlet employer.

Indeed, focus group participants in Rankin Inlet and Kugluktuk reported that there were several barriers to receiving additional skills training and education, including limited access to courses in their communities. They indicated that the high costs of tuition, travel, and living expenses were barriers to accessing education outside of their communities.

2.4.2 Skills, Degrees, Certificates, and Diplomas

High School and Equivalency Completion

Based on the full sample of survey respondents, they were almost evenly divided between those who reported they had (47%) and had not (53%) completed a high school diploma or equivalency. As demonstrated in Table 2.31, respondents were more likely to report having completed high school if they lived in Iqaluit, were unilingual Anglophones or comprehensive bilinguals, did not have family responsibilities, were engaged in education, or were current government employees.

The proportion of respondents who reported having a high school diploma did not vary in a statistically significant manner between genders or age groups.

Among those who reported they had not completed high school, most (53%) reported they had completed grade 10 or 11. Respondents who had family responsibilities were more likely to report they had finished grade 11 or 10 (60% of those with family responsibilities compared to 33% of those without family responsibilities). Eighteen percent of respondents who reported they had not completed high school, reported completing grades 7 through 9. More respondents without family responsibilities reported they had completed grades 7 through 9 (56% of those with family responsibilities compared to 29% with family responsibilities). Finally, 11% of respondents who did not complete high school had completed grade 6 or below. Unilingual Inuktitut respondents were more likely to report they had completed grade 6 or below than conversational bilingual respondents (37% of respondents unilingual in Inuktitut compared to 8% of conversational bilingual respondents).33 No other language group differences on the grades below high school completion which were completed.34

Educational Completion Beyond High School

Survey respondents were asked about education completed beyond high school including training, or courses completed which led to diplomas, degrees or certificates. For example, this education could have included college diplomas, trade certificates, upgrading certificates, and university degrees.

Though 47% of all survey respondents reported they had completed high school, a greater proportion had completed other education, training, or courses (60%). One-half (51%) of respondents who had not completed high school said they had engaged in additional education, training, or courses.

As with high school diploma completion rates, a greater proportion of current government employees reported having completed additional education (such as post-secondary degrees, diplomas, and certificates), as did respondents residing in Iqaluit and Keewatin, and bilingual respondents (comprehensive and conversational) and unilingual Anglophone respondents (see Table 2.32). Respondents older than 24 were also more likely to have completed additional education.  

There were no statistically significant differences between groups based on gender, family responsibilities, or current engagement in education.

Female respondents were more likely than male respondents to report they had completed a diploma or certificate through the NAC. Alternatively, male respondents were more likely than their female counterparts to report that they had obtained a trade or apprenticeship certificate or a workplace health and safety certificate. Male and female respondents were approximately equally likely to have obtained a municipal government certificate, or a university degree from a southern institution (see Table 2.34).35

There were no statistically significant differences between age groups, regions, or language groups in the types of diplomas, degrees, or certificates they had obtained (see Table 2.34).

Respondents’ Skills

Based on the entire sample, a majority of survey respondents reported having several skills deemed applicable to government work, including teamwork (89%), communication (73%), computer and Internet (71%), and typing and writing (67%) skills (see Table 2.35). As shown in Table 2.35, current government employees reported having many skills with greater frequency than respondents who have never been employed in the government (e.g., teamwork, public speaking, and computer skills). Respondents who used to be government employees reported having several skills with greater frequency than respondents who never worked for the government. Often, respondents currently working for the government, and those who worked for the government in the past, reported having skills with similar frequencies, such as teamwork, computer, teaching, and field inspection/protection skills.

Differences between groups with the same subscript are statistically non-significant, those with different subscripts are statistically significant. The subscripts “a”, “b”, and “c” are symbols used to group values into statistically significantly different groups; they do not have individual meanings.

Statistically significant differences in reported skills were noted between gender, age, language, region, family responsibilities, participation in Inuit cultural activities, and government employment.

Gender: Female respondents reported having the following skills with greater frequency than male respondents:

Male respondents were more likely to have reported the following skills than female respondents:

Male and female respondents reported the following skills with frequencies which were not statistically significantly different:

Age: As shown in Table 2.36 below, respondents’ reported skills frequently differed by age groups. Younger respondents tended to be more likely to report having skills related to computers (such as Internet and typing skills) while older respondents were more likely to have skills related to communication (such as public speaking and translating).

Language: Respondents who were bilingual for English and Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun reported having many work-related skills with greater frequency than unilingual respondents. For example, respondents who felt comfortable speaking, reading, and writing English and an Inuit language (comprehensive bilinguals) were more likely than respondents unilingual in English to have reported that they feel comfortable teaching (see Table 2.37).

Differences between groups with the same subscript are statistically non-significant, those with different subscripts are statistically significant. The subscripts “a”, “b”, and “c” are symbols used to group values into statistically significantly different groups; they do not have individual meanings.

Given that respondents who reported comprehensive bilingual skills were more likely than others to report having several skills, the following potential intervening variables were examined:

Therefore, gender and education differences may have contributed to skill differences between the language groups.

Regional: Respondents reported having several skills with statistically significantly different frequencies across the regions (see Table 2.38). Respondents living in Iqaluit were more likely to indicate that they were comfortable speaking to the public, had computer skills, had data entry skills, or had research skills. Respondents in the Kitikmeot region more frequently reported having skills gained through volunteering and carpentry and woodworking skills.

Given that respondents who reported engaging in cultural activities were more likely than those who did not report doing so to report having many skills, the following potential intervening variables were examined:

Therefore, the relationship between engaging in cultural activities and skills may be influenced by educational achievement.

Community focus group participants mentioned learning the following skills from participating in family, community, and cultural experiences:

Additional Training

A slight majority (57%) of respondents who were non-government employees (62% of the sample, 311 individuals) and interested in government employment (89% of non-government employees), reported that they would need more training to work for a government or hamlet employer, while the remaining 43% felt that they already had the right skills. Younger respondents (aged 18 to 24 years) were more likely to have felt that they need more training to be prepared for government work (93%) than those aged 30 to 54 years (51%). Respondents aged 25 to 29 years (52%) and 55 years and older (65%) were not statistically significantly different from the other groups.

The proportion of respondents who felt they needed more training did not vary statistically significantly by gender (62% of female respondents, 50% of male respondents), region (58% among those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 55% among those living in Keewatin, 67% among those living in Kitikmeot),36 or language (57% of those who were comprehensive bilingual, 63% of those who were conversational bilingual, 64% of those who were unilingual Inuktitut, 39% of those who were unilingual English).

A probit regression was conducted on whether non-government employee respondents felt that they had the right skills for government employment or needed further training. The probit regression suggested that respondents were less likely to have felt that they had the right skills for government employment if their highest level of educational attainment was below a post-secondary degree, diploma, or certificate (such as college diplomas, university diplomas, and trade certificates). Respondents whose highest level of education was a high school diploma or equivalent (-1.67), Grades 10 or 11 (-1.88), or less than Grade 10 (-1.83), were less likely to believe they had the right skills for government employment than those with a post-secondary education.37 Age, gender, and region of residence did not statistically significantly enter into the regression model.

Focus group participants believed that government and hamlet employees needed both formal qualifications and general skills. Certificates, such as heavy equipment operator, driver’s license, and administration certificates, were believed to be important; as well as high school diplomas and university degrees. General skills which they perceived to be important included computer, communication, bilingualism, reading/writing, and math skills.

2.4.3 Current Training and Education Activities

Respondents Currently Upgrading Skills

At the time of the survey, a few respondents (14%) from the entire sample reported taking courses to upgrade their skills or training. Among those who were taking such courses, most reported that these courses were primarily in their home communities (45%), followed by another community in Nunavut (21%) or outside of Nunavut (21%). An additional 20% reported taking courses online.

Taking upgrading courses was statistically significantly related to participating in Inuit cultural activities, government employment status, and government position. Respondents who participated in Inuit cultural activities were more likely to report taking courses (16%) than those who did not participate in Inuit cultural activities (8%). Approximately twice as many current government employees reported taking courses (21%) than those who used to work for the government (11%) and who never worked for the government (8%). Similarly, 33% of current government employees in supervisory positions reported taking courses, compared to 17% of those in non-supervisory positions.

The proportion of respondents who reported taking upgrading courses did not statistically significantly differ between genders (13% among females, 16% among males), age groups (12% among those aged 18 to 24 years old, 20% among those aged 25 to 29 years old, 14% among those aged 30 to 54 years old, 11% among those aged 55 years and older), regions (17% of those living in Iqaluit, 14% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 13% of those living in Keewatin, 15% of those living in Kitikmeot), or language groups (16% among those who were comprehensive bilingual, 12% among those who were conversational bilingual, 19% among those who were unilingual English).38

Respondents Not Currently Upgrading Skills

The remaining 86% of all survey respondents gave several reasons for not being currently engaged in upgrading their skills. The most common reasons given were having family responsibilities (21%) or believing that they did not need additional education (16%) (see Table 2.41). Family responsibilities were more frequently cited as a barrier by female respondents (28% of female respondents reported that having family responsibilities was a barrier, compared to 15% of male respondents) and respondents who had never worked for the government (34% of respondents who never worked for the government cited family responsibilities as a barrier, compared to 15% of government employees).

Responses with fewer than five respondents were excluded to maintain confidentiality.

The reasons that respondents gave for not engaging in upgrading did not statistically significantly differ based on gender, age, region, or language group:39

2.4.4 Willingness to Engage in Training or Education in the Future

Though focus group participants in Rankin Inlet and Kugluktuk acknowledged that a lack of formal education was a barrier to obtaining government and hamlet jobs, they also reported that there were several barriers to supplementing their knowledge and skills with formal qualifications. The primary barrier they reported was lack of access to courses, either because they were not offered in the community or there were too few spaces available. Participants cited the high costs of tuition, travel, and living expenses as barriers to accessing education or training outside of the community.

Similarly, a large majority (90%) of all survey respondents noted that they would be willing to take post-secondary education or training in their home community (and at no cost). Three-quarters (75%) of respondents who reported that they were willing to take training in their community said they would be interested in online training. Another three-quarters (75%) of all survey respondents reported that they were willing to take courses when they were hypothetically available elsewhere in Nunavut and at no cost (see Table 2.42).

Generally, younger respondents reported being willing to take further education, both in their home communities and elsewhere in Nunavut. Respondents aged 18 to 24 (97%), 25 to 29 (97%), and 30 to 54 (94%) years were reportedly more willing than those aged 55 years or older (76%) to take further education in their home communities. Respondents aged 18 to 24 (86%) and 25 to 29 (88%) years were also more likely to report being willing to take courses elsewhere in Nunavut than those aged 55 years and older (64%). Respondents aged 30 to 54 were not statistically significantly different from the other groups in willingness to take courses elsewhere in Nunavut (78%).

Respondents who were unilingual in English were more likely to report being willing to take post-secondary education in their home community than respondents who were unilingual in Inuktitut (97% among unilingual English respondents compared to 84% among unilingual Inuktitut respondents). Respondents who were bilingual in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun were not statistically significantly different from the other groups (94% of comprehensive bilingual respondents, 93% of conversational bilingual respondents).

Similarly, respondents interested in government work were more likely than uninterested respondents to report being willing to take further education in their community (94% of those interested in government work compared to 71% of respondents not interested in government employment) or elsewhere in Nunavut (80% of those interested in government work compared to 62% of respondents not interested in government employment).

Iqaluit residents were more likely to report being willing to take online courses (87%) than Keewatin region residents (67%). Baffin residents outside of Iqaluit (77%) and Kitikmeot residents (75%) were not statistically significantly different from the other groups. This difference, however, was not evident for education available in their home community (95% of respondents in Iqaluit, 88% of respondents in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 93% of respondents in Keewatin, of respondents in 97% Kitikmeot would be interested in education in their home communities) or elsewhere in Nunavut (73% of respondents in Iqaluit, 74% of respondents in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 80% of respondents in Keewatin, 87% of respondents in Kitikmeot would be interested in education elsewhere in Nunavut). A greater proportion of current government employees reported being willing to take online courses (83%) than past government employees (69%).

Respondents’ reported willingness to take courses did not vary in a statistically significant manner by gender regardless of whether the courses were offered in their home community (92% of female respondents, 92% of male respondents), elsewhere in Nunavut (76% of female respondents, 82% of male respondents), or online (76% of female respondents, 72% of male respondents).

2.5 Current Government Employees

2.5.1 Current Government Employees Summary

The following section addresses findings reported by current government employees who responded to the survey. The questions addressed their position and role, their workplace experiences, and their opinions on how Nunavut Inuit could be motivated to pursue and advance in government employment. A total of 189 government or hamlet employees responded to the survey (38% of the sample).

The majority of government employees were employed by the Government of Nunavut (61%), followed by a hamlet or the City of Iqaluit (27%), and the Government of Canada (9%). The most common roles reported by government employees were education (20%), administrative support (16%), and municipal services (11%). Approximately one-quarter (26%) indicated they were in management or supervisory roles, while 74% were not. The advantages of government work most commonly cited by government employees were the pay (38%) and the benefits (25%); while the most commonly cited disadvantages were the lack of flexibility (10%) and lack of respect for Inuit culture and values (8%).

Government employees believed that their skills were being well-used by their employers, including their English language skills (89%), formal education qualifications (80%), and reading, writing, math, and problem-solving skills (86%).

Current government employees suggested that the government could encourage other Nunavut Inuit to apply for government and hamlet positions by providing training (31%) and supporting post-secondary education (11%). Current government employees reported that they had received training since beginning their job (75%) and that this training was frequently provided by their employer (89%).

They believed that increased training opportunities would support Nunavut Inuit to advance in government positions (41%). Indeed, approximately two-thirds of them (68%) reported they would be interested in advancing to a higher government position, and most (84%) of these respondents said they knew what steps they would need to take in order to advance.

The majority of current government employees (89%) indicated that they enjoyed their workplace. Furthermore, the majority of current government employees said they intended to remain in their position for at least two years (61%). Among the 24% who said they planned to leave their position, the most common reasons for doing so were pursuing further education (22%) and retirement (18%).

2.5.2 Current Position or Role

Most of the current government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) said they were employed by the Government of Nunavut (61%) (see Table 2.43). Government of Nunavut employment was more common among female respondents (73% of female respondents compared to 40% of male respondents) and within the Keewatin region (75% of respondents in Keewatin compared to 42% of Kitikmeot region respondents, 63% of Baffin respondents outside of Iqaluit, and 61% of Iqaluit respondents). Respondents who were conversational bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun were more likely to report working for the Government of Nunavut (77%) than respondents unilingual in Inuktitut (35%). Comprehensive bilingual (69%) and unilingual in English (63%) respondents were not statistically significantly different from the other language groups.

While 27% of government employee respondents were reportedly employed by a hamlet or the City of Iqaluit, this was more common among male respondents (51% of male respondents were employed by a hamlet/Iqaluit, compared to 18% of female respondents who were employed by a hamlet/Iqaluit). Statistically significant differences in employer were not evident by age group. Government employee respondents in all age groups were statistically equally likely to be employed in the hamlet or City of Iqaluit (35% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 40% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 25% of those aged 30 to 54 years, and 27% of those aged 55 years or older were employed in the hamlet or City of Iqaluit) and the Government of Nunavut (65% of those aged 18 to 24 years, 45% of those aged 25 to 29 years, 65% of those aged 30 to 54 years, and 69% of those aged 55 years and older were employed in the Government of Nunavut).40

As displayed in Table 2.44, current government employee respondents reported a variety of roles including: teaching (20%), administrative support (16%), and municipal services (11%). Relatively few respondents reported engaging in leadership roles such as: management (6%), financial administration (6%), and policy and program development (3%).41 Indeed, the majority of current government employee respondents (74%) reported that they were not in a management or supervisory role while the remaining 26% reported being in a management or supervisory role.

2.5.3 Advantages and Disadvantages of Working for the Government or Hamlet

Advantages

The benefits of government and hamlet work identified by current government employees (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) were similar to the aspects of government work that interested non-government employee respondents (see Section 2.2.2). For example, 26% of non-government employees surveyed who were interested in government work cited the perceived pay offered by government jobs as a point of interest. Similarly, 38% of current government employees noted the rate of pay as an advantage to government work. Good benefits and work that makes a difference to the community were some of the top factors cited by non-employees interested in government work (13% and 15%, respectively) and current government employees (25% and 15%, respectively) as advantages to government work.

Disadvantages

The disadvantages of government employment mentioned most frequently by current government employees (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) were lack of flexible work arrangements (10%), lack of respect for Inuit culture and values (8%), limited staff housing (4%), lack of career advancement opportunities (4%), and lack of supervisory support (4%) (see Table 2.47). Other disadvantages noted infrequently by respondents included challenges working with co-workers and supervisors, long hours and low pay, and a lack of vacation benefits.43, 44

Responses with fewer than five respondents removed to maintain confidentiality.

Very few government employees reported a lack of time for cultural activities as a disadvantage of government and hamlet work without prompting. However, when asked directly, approximately one-half (52%) of government employees felt that they had less time available than they would like to engage in Inuit cultural activities because of their job. One-quarter (25%) did not feel this way and the remaining respondents were not certain (23%).

Respondents’ reports that they had less time than they would like to engage in cultural activities were not statistically significantly related to gender (56% of female respondents, 48% of male respondents), age (44% of those aged 18 to 24 years old, 43% of those aged 25 to 29 years old, 53% of those aged 30 to 54 years old, 75% of those aged 55 years and older), region (53% of those living in Iqaluit, 51% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 53% of those living in Keewatin, 63% of those living in Kitikmeot), or language (60% among those who were comprehensive bilingual, 52% among those who were conversational bilingual, 47% among those who were unilingual Inuktitut, 46% among those who were unilingual English).

2.5.4 Training and Skill Development and Use of Skills in the Workplace

As reported in Section 2.4.2 above, current government employees had higher rates of obtaining high school diplomas and additional education than non-government employees. The majority (86%) of government employees reported that they gained most of the skills they use at work through school or training that led to a certificate. This proportion did not statistically significantly vary by gender (88% of females, 83% of males), age (94% of those aged 18 to 24 years old, 91% of those aged 25 to 29 years old, 84% of those aged 30 to 54 years old, 92% of those aged 55 years and older), region (85% of those living in Iqaluit, 90% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 81% of those living in Keewatin, 94% of those living in Kitikmeot) or language (90% among those who were comprehensive bilingual, 86% among those who were conversational bilingual, 65% among those who were unilingual Inuktitut, 90% among those who were unilingual English).

As well, three-quarters of government employee respondents (75%) indicated they had engaged in training since starting to work for a government or hamlet employer. They reported that the majority of this training (89%) was provided by the employer.45

Statistically significant differences were not evident in the proportion of respondents who reported receiving training since beginning to work in the government by gender (77% of females, 72% of males), age (59% of those aged 18 to 24 years old, 73% of those aged 25 to 29 years old, 77% of those aged 30 to 54 years old, 85% of those aged 55 years and older), region (81% of those in Iqaluit, 73% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 78% of those in Keewatin, 70% of those in Kitikmeot), or language (75% of comprehensive bilinguals, 80% of conversational bilinguals, 67% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 73% of those unilingual in English). Similarly, respondents were statistically equally likely to indicate that this training was provided by their employer based on gender (93% of females, 83% of males), age (80% of those aged 18 to 24 years old, 88% of those aged 25 to 29 years old, 91% of those aged 30 to 54 years old, 95% of those aged 55 years and older), region (88% of those in Iqaluit, 95% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 93% of those in Keewatin, 77% of those in Kitikmeot), or language (92% of comprehensive bilinguals, 90% of conversational bilinguals, 92% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 80% of those unilingual in English).

In general, government employee respondents believed their skills were being put to good use by their government and hamlet employers. High proportions of respondents reported that their English language skills (89%), formal education qualifications (80%), and reading, writing, math, and problem-solving skills (86%) were being well-used in their current position (see Table 2.48).

Approximately three-quarters (78%) of government employee respondents believed that their Inuit language skills were being put to good use in their workplace. A greater proportion of respondents indicated their Inuit language skills were put to use in Baffin outside of Iqaluit (92%) and Keewatin (91%) regions, compared to Iqaluit (61%) and Kitikmeot (52%). No other statistically significant differences were evident between gender, age, region, or language groups.

2.5.5 How the Government can Encourage and Support Nunavut Inuit to Obtain Positions and Advance

Obtaining Government Positions

When asked for suggestions to encourage Nunavut Inuit to apply for government and hamlet positions (see Table 2.49), government employees largely focused on methods to increase skills, such as providing training (31%) and supporting post-secondary education (11%). Other suggestions, however, addressed increasing the influence and visibility of Nunavut Inuit within the government, such as providing mentoring (11%) and having Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun-speaking management (6%).

Other government employee respondents suggested methods which would increase the accessibility of job opportunities, such as community advertising (9%), promoting positions among high school students (9%), and supporting individuals with the application process (2%).

There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of respondents who indicated that training could help support Nunavut Inuit to apply for government positions by gender (43% of females, 36% of males), region (37% of those in Iqaluit, 30% of those in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 42% of those in Keewatin, 58% of those in Kitikmeot) or language (40% of comprehensive bilinguals, 37% of conversational bilinguals, 50% of those unilingual in Inuktitut, 38% of those unilingual in English).46

Advancement in Government Positions

Approximately two-thirds (68%) of current government employee respondents (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) reported they would be interested in advancing to a higher government position, while 31% reported they were not interested.47 Reported interest in advancement opportunities was particularly high among respondents under 30 years of age (89% of 18 to 24 year olds and 86% of 25 to 29 year olds), while less than one-half (44%) of respondents aged 55 years and older were interested in advancement. Respondents aged 30 to 54 years (68%) were not statistically significantly different from the other groups. There were no statistically significant differences between language groups in reported interest in advancement (65% of those who were comprehensive bilingual, 65% of those who were conversational bilingual, 78% of those who were unilingual Inuktitut, 73% of those who were unilingual English), nor were there statistically significant differences between genders (70% female, 66% male) or regions (57% of those residing in Iqaluit, 77% of those residing in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 66% of those residing in Keewatin, 77% of those residing in Kitikmeot).

Moreover, most (84%) respondents interested in advancement said they knew what steps they would need to take in order to advance. Reported knowledge of how to advance was highest among respondents who were conversational bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun (97%) and unilingual English respondents (93%) than among unilingual Inuktitut respondents (69%). Respondents who were comprehensive bilinguals in English and Inuktitut/Inuinnaqtun (74%) were not statistically significantly different than the other groups. There were no statistically significant differences in respondents who said they had the knowledge to advance by gender (86% of females, 84% of males), age (81% of those aged 18 to 24 years old, 89% of those aged 25 to 29 years old, 87% of those aged 30 to 54 years old, 90% of those aged 55 years and older), and region (73% of those residing in Iqaluit, 90% of those residing in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 85% of those residing in Keewatin, 92% of those residing in Kitikmeot).

Current government employees believed that additional training opportunities were needed to support Nunavut Inuit to advance in government and hamlet positions (see Table 2.50). This finding may suggest that access to training opportunities is the limiting factor for employees who wish to advance and know what steps to take to advance (84%).

2.5.6 Intentions to Remain In or Leave their Position in Two Years

The majority of current government employees said they intended to remain in their position for at least two years (61%), though almost one-quarter (24%) said they were planning on leaving.49 Respondents who were planning to leave most commonly gave pursuing further education (22%) or retiring (18%) as their reasons for planning to leave (see Table 2.51).50

Responses with five or fewer respondents removed to maintain confidentiality.

A greater proportion of younger government employee respondents (59% of those aged 18 to 24 years and 55% of those aged 25 to 29 years) said they intended to leave than older respondents (17% of those aged 30 to 54 years, 28% of those aged 55 years or older). The most common reason that respondents aged 18 to 29 years gave for planning to leave their positions were pursuing further education (33% of 18 to 29 year old respondents intending to leave their position).

Reported intentions to leave did not statistically significantly vary by gender (24% of females, 37% of males), region (28% of those living in Iqaluit, 24% of those living in Baffin outside of Iqaluit, 30% of those living in Keewatin, 29% of those living in Kitikmeot), or language (32% among those who were comprehensive bilinguals, 19% among those who were conversational bilinguals, 41% among those who were unilingual in English).51

The majority (89%) of government employees (38% of the sample, 189 individuals) reportedly enjoyed their current workplace and had access to the materials they needed in a language they could understand (83%) (see Table 2.52). A relatively lower proportion (60%), however, agreed that there were training opportunities in the language of their choice. Respondents who were unilingual in English (80%) were more likely to report that training was available in their language of choice than those who could speak, read, and write in English and an Inuit language (comprehensive bilinguals) (51%). Conversational bilingual (60%) and unilingual Inuktitut (56%) respondents were not statistically significantly different from the other groups. No other statistically significant differences were evident by gender, age, region, or language.

Section 3. Conclusions

Non-Government Employee Respondent Interest, Availability, and Preparedness

Based on survey responses, Nunavut Inuit who were not government employees were interested in applying for government positions (89%). Fifty seven percent of respondents who were not currently employed in the government reported they planned to apply to work in the government. Moreover, when respondents have looked for a job, they have found at least one which interests them sufficiently to lead to an application as 80% of those who had looked for a government job applied for a position.

Focus group and survey responses suggested that respondents believed that they do not have the formal education qualifications necessary for government employment (e.g., 57% of respondents believed they would need further training to work for a government or hamlet employer). Indeed, less than one-half of all survey respondents (47%) reported they had completed a high school diploma or equivalent.

Engaging in Inuit cultural activities was associated with several factors, such as additional education beyond high school, upgrading, and having work-related skills. Respondents who participated in Inuit cultural activities were twice as likely to report being engaged in upgrading at the time of surveying (16% of respondents who participated in Inuit cultural activities reported taking courses compared to 8% of those not engaged in Inuit cultural activities). Among all survey respondents, those who reported engaging in Inuit cultural activities also reported having several government work-related skills with greater frequency than those not engaged in Inuit cultural activities, such as teamwork (95%), computer and Internet skills (78%), and public speaking skills (77%).

Large increases in the proportions of non-government respondents who would apply for a government job were seen when such jobs were available in their community (an additional 25% of respondents would apply to locally-available jobs) and/or were supportive of Inuit culture (an additional 36% of respondents would apply to jobs that were supportive of Inuit culture).

Focus group responses suggested that needing to relocate for work could be a significant barrier due to housing concerns.

Inuit Language and Culture in the Workplace

Most non-government employee respondents believed that having co-workers who speak Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun (80%) and understand Inuit culture or society (86%) was somewhat or very important. Similarly, current government employees believed that having co-workers who speak Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun (84%) and support Inuit culture (89%) was somewhat or very important.

However, evidence was divided in terms of whether government employees perceived their workplaces as supporting Inuit culture and language. While the majority of current government employee survey respondents did report that there were opportunities to learn about Inuit culture in their workplaces (71%), the second most commonly mentioned disadvantage of working for the government or hamlet was lack of respect for Inuit culture and values (8%), and only approximately one-third reported they were able to use Inuktitut and/or Inuinnaqtun at work all the time (35%). Moreover, approximately one-third of respondents reported being supervised by an Inuk person (37%). On the other hand, over three quarters of respondents agreed that their Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun language and knowledge of Inuit culture were being put to good use in their job (78% and 77% agreed, respectively).

Focus group respondents noted that hiring for supervisory and management positions appeared to favour individuals from outside of Nunavut.

A divide between current government employee respondents’ co-workers and supervisors was apparent in language proficiency. Though 92% of surveyed government employees’ co-workers spoke Inuktitut or Inuinnaqtun at least some of the time, only 40% of their supervisors did so. This divide is particularly prevalent in Iqaluit, where they were statistically significantly more likely to have reported that their supervisors did not speak an Inuit language (85%).

Desire for Advancement: Most (68%) surveyed government employees reported wanting to advance and motivation did not differ in a statistically significant manner between language groups, region of residence, having family responsibilities, or engaging in Inuit cultural activities. Furthermore, most (84%) of those who wished to advance believed that they knew the steps they should take to do so and had the support of their supervisors (75% agreed supervisors help employees achieve their goals). Younger employees were most likely to report being interested in advancement (89% of 18 to 24 year olds and 86% of 25 to 29 year olds reported being interested in advancement opportunities compared to 44% of respondents aged 55 years and older).

Barrier to Advancement: Only 60% of current government employees agreed that there were training opportunities available in their language of choice, and their top suggestion to support Nunavut Inuit in advancement was providing training (41%). Further, only 11% noted training opportunities as an advantage of government employment.

Respondent Profiles

The following profiles of respondent groups combine information on how groups significantly differed from each other from multiple sections of the report.

Interest in Government Employment and Workplace Support for Inuit Culture: Among respondents who were not government employees, only 11% reportedly were not interested in government work at any level. They were quite likely to say they planned to apply if a job was available in a workplace that supported Inuit culture. A total of 77% of respondents not interested in government work reported that they would apply for a job if they knew that Inuit culture was supported in the workplace.

Respondents who were not government employees, and were not interested in government work tended to be older (76% of those over 54 years old were interested in government employment compared to over 90% of the other age groups) and be less comfortable writing in English (67% reported this skill). They were less interested in taking further education, even when it was offered in their community at no cost (71% of respondents not interested in government employment said they were interested in further education).

Respondents with Family Responsibilities: Younger respondents tended to report having family responsibilities (79% of those aged 25 to 29 years and 73% of those aged 30 to 54 years had family responsibilities). As well, residents of less highly populated areas of Nunavut were more likely to report having family responsibilities than those who lived in Iqaluit (i.e., 74% of residents in the Baffin region outside of Iqaluit and 79% of Kitikmeot region residents had family responsibilities, compared to the 55% of Iqaluit residents who had family responsibilities).

Respondents with family responsibilities tended to value work environments that were supportive of Inuit culture (94% of those who did not plan to apply for a government position reported that they would apply to a supportive environment). They also said they were interested in positions that involved outdoor work (73%), teaching Inuit cultural activities (67%), and administrative support (57%).

Forty-three percent of respondents with family responsibilities reported having a high school diploma or equivalent compared to 57% of those without family responsibilities. However, they reported having many work-related skills with greater frequency than those without family responsibilities, including teamwork (94%), computer and Internet use (77%), and typing and writing (72%).

Participation in Inuit Cultural Activities and Skills: Respondents who participated in Inuit cultural activities tended to be highly skilled and educated. They were twice as likely as those not engaged in Inuit cultural activities to report taking additional courses (16% of respondents who participated in Inuit cultural activities compared to 8% who did not participate in Inuit cultural activities). They reported having several work-related skills with greater frequency than other respondents including:

Survey results suggested that individuals who participate in Inuit cultural activities would also be most interested in positions that include outdoor work (74%), teaching Inuit cultural activities (70%), administrative assistance (55%), and research, policy, and program development (54%). To attract members of this group, presence of these activities within available positions could be emphasized, and opportunities could be posted on the Internet (31% of respondents engaged in Inuit cultural activities said they sought employment opportunities on the Internet, compared to 16% of other respondents).

Respondents Enrolled in Education: Respondents who were enrolled in education during survey administration (21%) tended to have already completed some education. Unlike the sample overall, a majority of individuals in this group reported they had a high school diploma (61%). They also cited more interest in management work (52%) than other respondents (36%).

Respondents engaged in education were more likely to favour employment opportunities in the Government of Nunavut specifically (81%) than those not enrolled in education (56%). They reported seeking employment opportunities on the Internet (36%).

Non-Government Employees Profile: Sixty-two percent of survey respondents were not government employees. They were more likely to live outside of Iqaluit (a minority of the populations of the Baffin, 28%, Kitikmeot, 35%, and Keewatin, 40%, regions were employed in the government, compared to 64% of Iqaluit residents).

Only 31% of surveyed government employees were male. More male respondents reported interest in positions that offered outdoor work (84%), operating heavy equipment (61%), and truck driving (61%). They were also more likely to report having the skills that could qualify them for these roles, such as operating or repairing equipment (62%), field or site protection and inspection (50%), and specialized driving (23%).

Focus group respondents suggested that a barrier to obtaining government employment in their communities was the requirement for formal education credentials.

Based on responses from all survey respondents, high school completion was less common among residents of Baffin outside of Iqaluit (43%), Keewatin (47%), and Kitikmeot (37%) regions, compared to Iqaluit residents (70%). Similarly, respondents who had never worked for the government were less likely to report having completed additional education (47%) than current government employees (69%).

Non-government employees were more likely to have reported seeking job opportunities through local hamlet offices (31% of non-government employees sought job opportunities at hamlet offices, compared to 15% of current employees). They were less likely than current government employees to have reported seeking job opportunities on the Internet (only 20% of non-government employees sought job opportunities on the Internet, compared to 38% of current employees).

Appendix A: Focus Group Summary Report

Introduction

Community focus groups were held in recognition of the importance of sharing experiences in-person, in an open-discussion, as well as to collect in-depth qualitative information on individuals’ interest in, availability for, and preparedness for government employment. It was believed that the qualitative information obtained through these groups would be useful in interpreting, understanding, and contextualizing the survey data.

Four focus groups were held in Kugluktuk (1 group, n=13) and Rankin Inlet (3 groups, total n=16). In total, 29 individuals participated in the focus group sessions. Groups were approximately evenly divided between men (n=14) and women (n=15). One Rankin Inlet group was conducted primarily in Inuktitut. In the Kugluktuk group, participants were invited to speak in Inuinnaqtun and English. Interpretation services were provided. Respondents ranged from approximately 19 to 64 years of age.

In general, most Rankin Inlet participants were employed, while Kugluktuk participants were more evenly divided between those who were employed, unemployed and in early retirement. A number of participants were employed in the retail sector, hospitality sector, and trades.

Originally, there was an intention to hold two focus groups in Iqaluit and only two groups in Rankin Inlet. However, adverse weather and project timelines precluded travel to Iqaluit. An additional Rankin Inlet group was conducted. Therefore, the experiences of individuals residing in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut are not represented.

The moderator led all groups through the same moderator guide, in which participants were asked about their interest in, availability for, and preparedness for government work. Throughout the groups, lists of factors that made it difficult to work for the government and factors that could be changed to make it easier for people to work for the government were developed. At the end of the groups, participants were invited to participate in a “dotmocracy” activity. Each participant was given dot stickers for each list and invited to place them beside the points they felt were most important.

Participant Selection

All participants invited to participate in the groups were NLCA Beneficiaries who were not government employees at the time of the sessions. Participants were invited to participate in three ways:

Summary

Overall, participants believed that hamlets, the Government of Nunavut, and the Government of Canada offered good quality jobs in a range of positions and environments (including office environments, service positions, trade positions, and outdoor work). However, participants also believed that it was difficult for individuals in their communities to obtain government positions as they lacked the necessary formal qualifications/experience and/or they had family or community commitments which prevented them from holding full-time jobs. Participants identified several skills they learned from cultural, family, and/or community activities which could be applied to government positions such as attention to detail, work ethic, and communication/team work skills.

Although participants may consider moving to another community to work for the government, a major factor in their decision would be housing availability in the community to which they were moving. Participants who had permanent housing in their community would also be hesitant to leave it, given the long process involved in obtaining housing. Participants would also consider their family commitments before moving.

To increase their likelihood of working for the government, participants suggested that efforts be made to accommodate their other commitments, such as flexible job schedules and low-cost child/Elder care. Additionally, participants suggested that the pool of people available to work in the government would be increased if equivalencies to formal education were considered, and opportunities for obtaining degree/certificates increased. Finally, government positions would be more attractive to participants if they were confident of a positive working environment, a salary that covered their living expenses, and opportunities to advance in their positions and grow professionally.

Findings

Participants’ responses are summarized below by section of the moderator’s guide and question. Please note that as this research is qualitative in nature, the findings cannot be extrapolated to the broader population of Nunavut. They should be viewed as directional.

Introduction

1. What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say ‘government job’?

In general, participants believed government jobs to offer high pay and strong job security. However, they also believed that government jobs were difficult to obtain as they required more education or training than participants had. They also believed the hiring process was not transparent and open to being influenced by “nepotism”. Participants believed that those with the responsibility for making hiring choices favoured their friends and family over other community members. A few participants characterized government jobs as primarily requiring office work.

“You need friends in high places to get a government job.”

“I said nepotism because I have applied for a number of jobs that I was qualified for or over qualified for. I didn’t even get an interview. I’m not the only one who says it - they hire only family.”

2. What types of government or hamlet jobs do you know about or think exist, either in Iqaluit or anywhere else across Nunavut? What about in your community?

Participants identified a wide range of government and hamlet jobs before being prompted by a list of job types. These included:

Participants did not actively differentiate between levels of government; however, they did tend to focus on jobs within the hamlet (e.g., community services) or Government of Nunavut (e.g., healthcare and teaching). Jobs within the Government of Canada mentioned by participants tended to be highly visible careers (e.g., RCMP officers).

After being prompted with the list of government and hamlet jobs, participants in one group engaged in a brief more general discussion about the additional jobs this list suggested to them. They implied that they knew these jobs existed within government, though they had forgotten to mention them. They mentioned that government jobs included:

Interest

3. Are you interested in these types of jobs? Why/why not?

More than half of participants indicated they were interested in government and hamlet jobs. They generally found these jobs interesting due to the high pay and security they offered, as well as the tasks/roles they included (such as trade work).

Factors that reduced participants’ interest in government jobs included:

Less frequently mentioned reasons for not being interested in government work included participants’ perceptions that English was the predominant language of work and that they would have few Inuit co-workers. Some participants were not interested in government work because they believed that a higher income would lead to losing access to income support/subsidized housing.

4. Are government or hamlet jobs just as interesting to you as other jobs that are available in your community? Why or why not?

Participants identified several factors of other jobs (such as local retail jobs) that made them more interesting than government or hamlet work, which included:

“In my job I get to do different things, deal with customers and employees.”

“Government work is monotonous, its the same thing every day.”

“[They should have] more different jobs... so you’re not doing the same thing all the time.”

5. What might make these kinds of government jobs more interesting to you?

Participants explained that they may be more interested in government jobs if they believed that their lack of formal qualifications would not be an impediment to getting a job. They suggested that the hiring process focus on skills over formal qualifications. Specifically, participants suggested that they believed that they had the skills to do the job, or could learn to do the job, though it was difficult to prove this in the government hiring process as they did not have degrees or certificates to list on a résumé.

They also suggested that the government focus on offering careers over jobs. Specifically, they suggested that staff be given opportunities to learn how to perform new roles and experience a variety of tasks, and that leadership training be available to individuals in entry-level and service provision positions, thereby promoting advancement. For example, participants mentioned that on-the-job training, such as job shadowing, could present opportunities to learn new roles.

“It would be nice in a department to get training on other positions within that department, to expand your work abilities within that department.”

“Sometimes you’re granted the job but they don’t continue training you to allow you to take things further and turn it into a career process. It makes it hard to advance if there is no added training.”

Participants also stated that the salary and benefits offered should take into account the high cost of living in the North (despite the Northern Allowance). For example, some participants suggested offering permanent housing to government employees. Strong, positive work environments, supported by good working relationships, were believed to make jobs interesting. They preferred to work in environments in which their coworkers were friendly. Though they did not specifically mention that having a shared culture would improve working relationships, they recommended that hiring from within Nunavut and/or providing cross-cultural training, would improve working relationships.

“I want a workplace where everyone gets along.”

“Some departments you walk in and you can feel the tension in the room.”

Finally, they recommended that hiring decisions be made more transparent by explaining why someone was not hired. Participants explained that they had submitted applications and either had not heard back about their status, or had been rejected without an explanation. They spoke to the process being “discouraging” and not knowing why their applications were not accepted. Some participants also raised the possibility of allocating hiring decisions to human resources departments outside of the community. They believed that this may reduce the frequency with which friends and family are hired, or the appearance that friends and family of the person making the hiring decision are favoured. For example, they suggested that hiring decisions may be moved to Ottawa for Government of Canada positions.

“They should do the hiring in Ottawa, not here. Because they don’t know you, they’ll just focus on your qualifications.”

Less frequent suggestions about making government jobs more interesting included:

Availability

In the following section, participants often reported experiences they had witnessed other individuals in their communities having, as well as their personal experiences.

6. What does being available mean to you? Would you consider yourself to be “available” to work for the government or hamlet?

Participants suggested that people were available to work when they wanted work and were willing to commit to a job.52 People demonstrated that they were willing to commit when they came to work on time and did not unreasonably restrict their job search. They also suggested that people, including themselves and others, were available to work when they had the qualifications necessary or were willing to get training. Having quality, affordable child or Elder care support (e.g., daycares, home care, Elder housing) was also believed to be key to being able to work.

“Some people are really choosy about work. If it’s not the kind of work that they want, they’re not going to do it. I have relatives that just choose not to work because it’s not the work that they want to do.”

7. What are some of the factors that affect your availability to work in a government or hamlet job?

Participants believed that people were less available to work in a government or hamlet job because of:

Women who participated in the focus groups were more likely to raise caregiving responsibilities and job schedules as reasons they or others may not be available. Men were more likely to raise mental health/addictions as a barrier to being available for work.

“Criminal records make it harder to get government jobs.”

“If I were to apply for a [government position] here, I would not be able to get government housing because I live here. They only give them to people who are coming up here casually.”

8. I would like to explore the issue of moving to another community for work.

Participants were split on the question of whether or not they would consider moving if they heard about a government or hamlet job opening in another community in Nunavut.

All groups discussed housing availability and security as a factor they would consider prior to deciding to move. Participants explained that, in their communities, permanent housing can be very limited. Participants described needing to apply to a housing committee or board, which then decides who receives housing and that this process can take years. Therefore, participants were hesitant to move if they already had housing. Additionally, participants who did not yet have housing were nervous about moving to a community where the available housing may be more limited.

“You wait so many years to get a house, and then if you’re offered a job somewhere else you have to give up your home. If it doesn’t work out in that other community, you come home and you’re back at square one. You have to go back on the housing list and wait.”

Participants also considered the positive and negative effects moving may have on their family. Some indicated that moving may lead to higher pay and an ability to contribute more to their family financially, while others indicated they would be depriving their family of a caretaker. As well, if participants had family or friends in another community, they felt more comfortable with moving.

Participants would consider the environment they were moving to, including the local amenities (such as stores and infrastructure), by-laws (for example, a few participants noted they would hesitate to move to a “dry” community that does not permit alcohol), size, and perceived safety. Participants indicated that the people they may be working with and the culture prevalent in the community would also contribute to their decisions. Participants were concerned that regional differences in culture and/or community acceptance of new people may make relocation difficult.

“I would be afraid of not being able to fit in [in a new community].”

Finally, participants had financial considerations, including the cost of moving and whether the job would have a Northern Allowance55 that would match the living expenses in the new community.

9. Thinking of all the things that we have just talked about, what might make it easier for you to be available to work in a government or hamlet job in the future?

Participants suggested that work schedules be made more flexible to allow time for family care and traditional activities. For example, it was suggested that a “job-share” alternative be offered wherein two people share one position. Similarly, they indicated that people would be more available to work if there was local support for their families. For example, they suggested a local Elder care facility be developed, subsidized childcare be offered, and support/counselling for family members with addictions and mental health issues be available. Finally, participants indicated that more members of their community would be available to work if they, including Elders, were hired for doing traditional activities that benefit the community such as teaching traditional skills and/or local knowledge or providing food and goods.

A less commonly suggested program was a “three-strike” initiative for staff experiencing challenges with addictions wherein they are provided counselling support and given three chances before being let go. This program, however, was mentioned in only one community (Kugluktuk).

Preparedness

10. Many people gain job-related skills and knowledge in their families, communities, and on the land. What kinds of skills do you think Inuit learn from these activities?

Participants identified specific cultural skills which they had learned including:

In addition to specific cultural skills, participants identified several transferable skills people learn from family, community, and on-the-land experience. These skills included:

Participants also noted that people gained pride and confidence from these activities which they believed would contribute to them being better able to learn new things and be effective at their jobs. Less frequently, participants suggested these activities impart skills such as planning, fine motor skills, leadership, decision-making, and environmental awareness.

11. In your opinion, how are these skills relevant for government or hamlet jobs?

Participants suggested that their experiences in their families, communities, and cultural activities developed several transferable skills which could be applied to government or hamlet jobs. Primarily, participants learned social skills such as communication, respect, and acceptance, which would contribute to positive work environments and teamwork.

Other useful skills included:

12. What do you think it means to be prepared for government or hamlet work? (What skills, experience, education, or training are required?)

Participants identified both formal qualifications and general skills needed to be prepared for government or hamlet work. Certificates, such as heavy equipment operator, driver’s license, and administration certificates, were believed to be important, as well as high school diplomas and university degrees.

“People need university degrees for government jobs.”

More generally, participants suggested computer skills, communication skills, bilingualism (specifically English and Inuinnaqtun in Kugluktuk, and English and Inuktitut in Rankin Inlet), reading/writing, and math were important skills for government or hamlet work. Particularly, bilingualism was believed to be essential when working with the public, some of whom may only speak or may prefer to speak Inuktitut, Inuinnaqtun, or English.

13. What are the factors that can prevent people from getting this experience?

Participants indicated that the main barrier to obtaining skills, education, and training in their communities was lack of access to courses, either because they were not offered in the community or there were too few spaces available. Accessing training outside of the community was impeded by the high costs of tuition, travel, and living expenses. Participants suggested that the variety of courses, including high school and trades courses, offered in their communities was low. Other barriers included the prevalence of English as the language of training and a lack of commitment on the part of the learner to completing training once started.

“Bring training closer to home. They are building training centres in Rankin Inlet, and they have courses that are offered only in Iqaluit. They need to be able to accept closer-to-home education... You can go to Alberta in one day but to get to Iqaluit you have to overnight in Thunder Bay. It’s cheaper to go south.”

“Part of the reason I’m not going to university is because of finances - travelling to there and the tuition costs.”

14. What type of training works best for people?

Participants were divided between those who believed that on-the-job training was the best type, and those who believed that classroom training was best. Participants felt that on-the-job training provided direct experience and allowed people to learn by doing. Other participants believed that classroom training provided formal qualifications and was the best way to teach people about policies and regulations.

15. Would you be more likely to participate in literacy upgrading/training if the training program incorporated traditional Inuit knowledge and activities?

Participants favoured including Inuit language, knowledge and activities in training/upgrading programs. However, they also noted the importance of formal qualifications and ensuring that high school students  learn skills necessary for post-secondary education. They believed that exposure to Inuit activities was most important for people who would be working with the public, such as teachers, social workers, and law enforcement officers. Participants felt Inuit knowledge could be added to training by hiring Elders as teachers, using traditional games and skills, and using Inuktitut books as teaching materials.

16. What would help Inuit be prepared for government or hamlet jobs?

For the most part, participants focused on increasing the availability of formal education and training. They suggested that opportunities for formal education be increased in their communities by developing more facilities and purchasing more equipment for existing facilities; thereby increasing the variety of courses and number of spots in the courses available locally.

Other participants suggested that some may be nervous about working for the government as they may not know what to expect or what would be expected of them. They therefore recommended work readiness/orientation training, as well as on-the-job training, to prepare people for government work.

Other less common suggestions included:

Moving Forward

17. Factors that make it hard to work in government.

Factors most frequently chosen by participants during the dotmocracy activity were those that they most frequently saw in their community, and/or those which they believed to have the greatest impact on acquiring a government job. For example, one group noted that all levels of the government seemed to put emphasis on formal qualifications in their hiring, though many people in their community did not have access to formal education. Other options were not chosen because, according to participants, they should not be priorities and/or they affected a relatively small number of people.

The most frequently identified factors that make it difficult to work in government included (listed in order of frequency of selection in multiple groups during the dotmocracy, most frequently selected factor is first):

18. Things that can be changed to make it easier for Inuit to work in government.

The list below describes the factors most frequently chosen by participants as elements which could be changed to make it easier to work in government. Participants indicated these factors because they addressed the most significant concerns and also offered opportunities to build their communities (e.g., by providing Elder care and stability for families). Other factors were not chosen because, though they were important, they were not considered priorities.

The most frequently identified factors that could be changed to make it easier for Inuit to work in the government included (listed in order of frequency of selection in multiple groups during the dotmocracy, most frequently selected factor is first):

19. At the beginning of this session, I asked you what was the first word that came to mind when I said “government job.” Would you use a different word now, or is it the same word?

Most participants would not use a different word to describe government jobs. A few suggested the discussion had opened their eyes to the different careers available in the government.

Recruitment Script

Hello, my name is [Insert: your name] and I am calling from RA Malatest & Associates on behalf of the Government of Canada.

May I continue in Inuktitut, or would you prefer to speak English? [Transfer to English speaker if that is preferred]

We will be doing a survey across Nunavut to help governments in Nunavut better understand how to support Inuit employment in the government. By government, we mean working for the Government of Canada, the Government of Nunavut, a hamlet or the City of Iqaluit. 

Before we do this survey, we need to test and discuss it with a few members of the community to make sure it will work. The discussion session will take place in Iqaluit on June 2 and will take about 90 minutes. During the discussion, snacks, coffee, tea, and pop will be served. Once the discussion is over, you will receive a gift of $75 as a token of our appreciation for your participation.

Although we would greatly appreciate your participation, this meeting is completely voluntary. Would you be interested in participating?

If asked for more details on what “survey testing” means, explain: we are currently conducting survey testing to improve the survey questions before we expand the survey to the community. This testing session will be your opportunity to provide feedback on how well the survey applies to you and your experiences.

If asked for details on how the results of the survey will be used, explain: This research will be used to help the Government of Canada and the Government of Nunavut better understand how to increase the number of Inuit working for the government. It will help us work towards achieving the goals for Inuit employment that are part of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. All reports based on this survey will be available to the public when the research is completed.

If someone declines because they do not work for the government, explain: We are inviting both people who do and do not work for the government to come to the discussion group.

If someone declines because they do not want to work for the government, explain: We are still interesting in hearing your views on the survey questions.

Cognitive Testing Moderator’s Guide

Hello!  My name is <<name>>.

The Government of Canada has hired R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd. to do a survey with Nunavut Land Claims Agreement beneficiaries. This research may help governments across Nunavut better understand how to support Inuit employment in the government. By government, we mean working for the Government of Canada, the Government of Nunavut, a hamlet or the City of Iqaluit.  Government positions include – for example – program administrators, policy analysts, researchers, teachers, nurses, lawyers, correctional workers, community development officers, customer service agents and outdoor work such as emergency, wildlife or water services.

The purpose of our discussion today is to review the survey to see if it is clear and easy to understand. We appreciate your help testing the survey. What you tell us today will be used to change the survey. We will walk you through the survey and ask you to comment on the questions.

Our conversation today will take about 90 minutes.

This conversation will be recorded to make sure that we accurately hear everything you say today. These recordings will only be used to help us write our reports and they will not be shared with the government or anybody else. Any comments we use will be anonymous. That means we will not use your name in any reports. Participating in the discussion group is completely voluntary.

Are there any questions before we start?

Note: Italics indicate prompt questions and facilitators’ notes.

Introduction

To start, let’s introduce ourselves to each other. Going around the circle, please tell everyone your first name and one thing you like the best about living in Iqaluit.

We are really glad you could make it today because we need your help to make sure that the survey is clear and understandable for everyone. Sometimes, when we design surveys we use words that sound unusual and then people are less likely to finish the survey.

I will begin by reading the introduction.

1. Is anything in the introduction not clear?

2. Are there any words that people might find confusing or difficult to understand?

3. If someone read you this introduction, would you be interested in doing the survey? Why/why not?

Survey

4. I will now read each survey question. As we go through, please think about these three things <<write on whiteboard>>:

  1. Would the questions be easy for people to understand?
  2. Do the words used in the questions fit with how they are used in your community?
  3. Would anyone be uncomfortable answering or be offended by the questions? (For example, did any seem impolite?)

9. Did you have any trouble answering questions because the answer you wanted to give wasn’t available, or because two answers applied to you equally? Prompt if yes: Which question(s)?

Please let me know if any of these issues come up in each question.

<<Review survey questions>>

**Note to moderator: be sure to make it clear to people that not every participant will be asked every question. For example, only current government employees will be asked the questions in the “Current Government Employees” (SE) section. Current government employees will not be asked Interest and Availability questions.

Thank you everyone for going through the survey with me/us. I have a few follow-up questions now on the survey as a whole.

5. As we went through the survey, you told me that these questions/words were hard to understand or unclear <<list>>. Are there any others that could be added to this list? How could we change them to make them understandable for everyone?

6. As we went through the survey, you told me that these questions/words would not be used in your community <<list>>. Are there any others that could be added to this list? How could we change them to make them understandable for everyone?

7. As we went through the survey, you told me that people would be uncomfortable answering these questions <<list>>. Are there any others that could be added to this list? How could we change them to make them more comfortable to answer?

8. For any of the questions, did you wonder why you were being asked to provide that information?
Prompt if yes: Which question(s)?

9. Did you have any trouble answering questions because the answer you wanted to give wasn’t available, or because two answers applied to you equally? Prompt if yes: Which question(s)?

10. Is there anything that might influence someone’s ability to work in the government that was not covered in the survey?

11. Are there any other comments you would like to make about the survey?

Thank you for speaking with us today.

Appendix C: Survey Instrument

Nunavut Inuit Survey

Introduction

Hello, [INSERT INUKTITUT GREETING], my name is [ ] from R.A. Malatest & Associates and I am working with the Government of Canada with the support of  Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. and the Government of Nunavut, to conduct an important survey with Nunavut Inuit, who are 18 years old and older, about employment in Nunavut..  May I continue in Inuktitut, or would you prefer to speak English? [Transfer to English speaker if that is preferred]

The survey is voluntary and completely confidential and should take between 15-19 minutes. Your individual responses and name will not appear in any report. To thank you for participating, you will be entered in a draw for one of four $350 pre-paid credit cards.  Would you be willing to complete the survey? [IF INTERESTED BUT NOT A GOOD TIME: SET UP APPOINTMENT FOR CALL BACK]

As you may know, Article 23 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement says that government employment in Nunavut should reflect the population it serves. When we say government, we mean your hamlet or the City of Iqaluit, the Government of Nunavut, and the Government of Canada. The answers you provide will be very useful to help government agencies understand how to develop initiatives to increase Inuit employment, such as training programs and Inuit employment plans.

[NOTE: when respondent or interviewer mouses over “government”, the definition above should appear]

We would also like to note that the report with the results from this survey will be publicly available on the Library and Archives Canada website, six months after the end of the phone surveys.  This survey is also registered with the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association. [NOTE TO INTERVIEWER: ONLY IF ASKED WHAT IS MRIA: The Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (MRIA) is a Canadian not-for-profit association representing all aspects of the market intelligence and survey research industry in Canada.]

First, to make sure you qualify for this survey:

A_01. Are you between the ages of 18 and 64 years old?

  1. Yes
  2. No - You need to be between the ages of 18 to 64 to complete the survey. [GO TO OT_03]

A_02. Are you a Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA) beneficiary? [NOTE TO INTERVIEWER: That is, individual is an NLCA beneficiary]

  1. Yes [ CONTINUE]
  2. No [Go to end and thank]
  3. Don’t know [to find out, you can call the NTI Enrolment Administrator: Margaret Kusugak 1-867-645-5416. Then go to end and thank].

Vous êtes tout à fait libre de répondre ou non au sondage, qui est entièrement confidentiel. Il vous faudra entre 15 et 19 minutes pour répondre au sondage. Vos réponses particulières et votre nom n’apparaîtront en aucun cas dans les rapports découlant de l’étude. En guise de remerciement, les noms des participants feront partie d’un tirage pour une chance de gagner  l’une de quatre carte de crédit prépayée d’une valeur de 350$ .Est-ce que vous aimeriez participer au sondage? [SI LE/LA RÉPONDANT(E) EST INTÉRESSÉ(E) MAIS QUE CE N’EST PAS UN BON MOMENT : CONVENIR DU MOMENT POUR RAPPELER]

Comme vous le savez peut-être, l’Article 23 de l’Accord sur les revendications territoriales du Nunavut précise que l’embauche au service du gouvernement du Nunavut doit refléter la population desservie. Lorsqu’il est question de gouvernement, nous voulons parler de votre hameau ou de la ville d’Iqaluit, du gouvernement du Nunavut et du gouvernement du Canada. Les réponses que vous communiquerez seront très utiles pour aider les organismes gouvernementaux à comprendre comment élaborer des initiatives en vue d’accroître l’embauche chez les Inuit, comme des programmes de formation et des plans d’embauche des Inuit.

[NOTE : lorsque le/la répondant(e) ou la personne en charge de l’entrevue déplace le curseur sur le mot « gouvernement », la définition ci-dessus doit apparaître]

Nous aimerions aussi signaler que le rapport renfermant les résultats découlant de ce sondage sera disponible sur le site Web de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada six mois après la réalisation des sondages téléphoniques. De plus, ce sondage est inscrit auprès de l’Association de la recherche et de l'intelligence marketing. [NOTE À LA PERSONNE EN CHARGE DE L’ENTREVUE : SEULEMENT SI LE/LA RÉPONDANT(E) DEMANDE CE QU’EST L’ARIM : l’Association de la recherche et de l’intelligence marketings (ARIM) est l’association canadienne sans but lucratif qui représente tous les aspects de l’industrie des études de marché et des sondages au Canada.]

Dans un premier temps, je vais vous poser quelques questions pour vérifier si vous satisfaites aux critères de participation au sondage :

Appendix D: Focus Group Moderator Guide, Recruitment Screener, and Community Letters

Community Focus Group Moderator’s Guide

Welcome (10 minutes)

Hello!  My name is <<name>>.   The Government of Canada has hired R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd. to do a study with Beneficiaries of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. This research is also supported by the Government of Nunavut and Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. Today we will be talking about government employment. When we say government employment, we mean working for your hamlet or the City of Iqaluit, the Government of Nunavut or the Government of Canada.

As you may know, Article 23 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement says that government employment in Nunavut should reflect the population it serves. When we say government, we mean your hamlet or the City of Iqaluit, the Government of Nunavut, and the Government of Canada. Your participation will be very useful to help government agencies understand how to develop initiatives to support Inuit interested in government employment, such as training programs and Inuit employment plans. Our conversation today will help us understand if you are interested in government work.

As a reminder, we expect our conversation today to take about two hours.

We will be recording our conversation today just to make sure we do not miss any of your important comments. We will only use the recordings to help us write our reports.  They will not be shared with anyone, not government officials or anybody else. We will not use anyone’s name in any reports. Participating in the discussion group is completely voluntary.

There are no right or wrong answers and we encourage everyone to give us their opinion.

Are there any questions before we get started?

Note: Italics indicate prompt questions and facilitators’ notes.

Introduction (20 minutes)

1. To start, let’s introduce ourselves to each other.

  1. Going around the circle, please tell everyone your first name and your favourite activity in the summer? (Moderator, please share your example first)
  2. What is the first thing that comes to mind when I say ‘government job’? (moderator, please note that this question will be asked at the end of the session to compare the perceptions of the participants at the beginning and end of the session)

2. What types of government or hamlet jobs do you know about or think exist, either in Iqaluit, or anywhere else across Nunavut? What about in your community (if Rankin Inlet or Kugluktuk).

Facilitator/note-taker: Please take note of which types of jobs are mentioned without prompting.

Prompt: (If people are only thinking of office jobs) Are they always office jobs?

[When the group has finished]

  1. Display a poster with the three levels of government and the government departments. See if this list makes people think of any jobs that were not considered before. (Appendix 1)
  2. Use the list from Appendix 2 to fill in any gaps that they have not thought of. This will ensure that everyone has the same idea of the breadth of jobs that are applicable.]
Interest (15 minutes)

We are now going to discuss if you are interested in government or hamlet work.

3. Are you interested in working in these types of jobs? Why/why not?

(Create a list of possible or perceived factors affecting interest in government work)

4. Are government or hamlet jobs just as interesting to you as other jobs that are available in your community? Why or why not?

5. What might make these kinds of government jobs more interesting to you?

(Create a list of ideas to increase interest in government work)

Availability (20 minutes)

The next questions will ask about availability for government or hamlet work.

6. What does being “available” mean to you? Would you consider yourself to be “available” to work for the government or hamlet?

7. What are some of the factors that affect your availability to work in a government or hamlet job?

(Moderator, please collect both negative and positive factors)

(Create a list of factors affecting availability)

8. I would like to explore the issue of moving to another community for work.

  1. If you heard about an opening with a government or hamlet in another community in Nunavut, would you consider moving?
  2. What would be some of the factors you would have to consider before you decided to either move or stay in your home community?

Prompt if necessary: Impact on family? Impact on community? Who would pay for the move? Conditions of employment?

9. (Moderator: point to list made in #7) Thinking of all the things that we have just talked about, what might make it easier for you to be available to work in a government or hamlet job in the future…

  1. In your community?
  2. In another community in Nunavut?

[Create a list on the board]

Preparedness (25 minutes)

Next, we are going to talk about skills that help Inuit be prepared for government or hamlet jobs.

10. Many people gain job-related skills and knowledge in their families, communities, and on the land (through activities such as parenting, family and community leadership, hunting and harvesting, clothing design and sewing, etc.). What kinds of skills do you think Inuit learn from these activities?

[Create a list on the board]

[If responses are activity-oriented (e.g., “hunting” or “fishing”) rather than on the skills being applied when undertaking these activities, then prompt them to think about the skills that they learn from these activities (e.g., teamwork, leadership, discipline, etc)]

11. In your opinion, how are these skills relevant for government or hamlet jobs? Are some skills more relevant than others?

12. What do you think it means to be prepared for government or hamlet work? Prompt: What kinds of skills and experience do you think are required? Prompt: What kind of education or training do you think are required?

13. What are factors that can prevent people from getting this experience? (Moderator: refer to experience discussed in #12, i.e., skills and work experience, education or training)

<<List on Board>>

14. What type of training works best for people?    

15. Would you be more likely to participate in literacy upgrading/training if the training program incorporated traditional Inuit knowledge and activities?

Prompt: How can Inuit knowledge be incorporated in training?

16. What would help Inuit be prepared for government or hamlet jobs?

<<List on board>>

Moving Forward (30 minutes)

17. Today, as a group, we have developed two lists. One is a list of factors that can make it hard for people to work for the government. The other list is of things that can be changed to help more Inuit in government. Is there anything you would like to add to these lists?

(List of factors: Questions 3, 7, 13. List of things that can bring change: Questions 5, 9, 16)

18. Everyone has a few dot stickers at their seat. First, we will look at the list of factors (Questions 3, 7, 13) that can make it hard for people to work in government. Please take your stickers and put them beside the points on the board that you think are the most important. You can put your stickers next to any point you want. If there is only one point you agree with, you can put all your stickers there.

<<Review the lists orally and be aware that some people may need help due to literacy level>>

<<Identify most frequently chosen options>> Why do you think these options are important?

<<Identify least frequently chosen options>> Why did you not choose these options?

19. Now, we will look at the list of things that can be changed (Questions 5, 9, 16) to make it easier for Inuit to work in government. <<Repeat exercise in paragraph 18>>.

20. At the beginning of this session (Question #1b), I asked you what was the first word that comes to mind when I say “government job.” Would you use a different word now, or is it still the same word?

21. Thank you for speaking with us today. The information you have provided us today, in addition to the results of surveys that have been conducted throughout Nunavut, will be reported to the federal, territorial and municipal governments in Nunavut and to Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. The report will be publicly available on the Library and Archives Canada website, six months after the end of the research. A link to the report will also be available on NTI’s website.

To whom it may concern,

The Government of Canada, with the support of Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) and the Government of Nunavut, has hired a national research company, R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd., to gather information about government employment in Nunavut. By government, we mean working for a hamlet, the City of Iqaluit, the Government of Nunavut or the Government of Canada.

As you are no doubt aware, Article 23 of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement (NLCA) compels governments in Nunavut to increase Inuit participation in government employment to a representative level. The purpose of our research is to provide governments in Nunavut with information that will help to achieve this objective. It is important that we hear from Inuit in your community to learn their opinions about how to fulfil this important aspect of the NLCA.

We are interested in speaking with any Inuit who are enrolled under the NLCA and are between the ages of 18 to 64 years. Representatives of Malatest will be collecting information through a telephone survey this month (July). A report resulting from this research will be publicly accessible from the Library and Archives Canada website, as well as the NTI website, six months after the completion of all the fieldwork.

Participation in this research is voluntary and will not in any way affect individuals’ relationship with the Government of Canada. Please be assured that the anonymity of all participants will be respected. The names of participants will not be revealed and final results will be reported for a group of people, never for a single individual. Participants will also never be asked to disclose any information about their finances, bank accounts or credit cards.

NLCA beneficiaries can complete the survey over the phone by calling 1-877-688-5051 (toll free) and refer to the NLCA survey when calling in.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stephanie Gazzola at (780) 448-9042 (toll-free: 1-877-665-6252) (email: s.gazzola@malatest.com).

We look forward to speaking to you and learning from the members of your community.

Kind regards,

A qui de droit,

Le gouvernement du Canada, avec l’appui de Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. et du gouvernement du Nunavut, a engagé la société nationale de recherche R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd. afin de recueillir de l’information sur l’emploi au gouvernement au Nunavut. Par « emploi au gouvernement », on entend tout emploi pour un hameau, la Ville d’Iqaluit, le gouvernement du Nunavut ou le gouvernement du Canada.

Comme vous le savez sans aucun doute, le chapitre 23 de l’Accord sur les revendications territoriales du Nunavut oblige les divers ordres de gouvernements au Nunavut à accroître, à un niveau représentatif, le nombre d’Inuits qui occupent un emploi au gouvernement. Notre recherche vise à fournir aux ordres de gouvernement du Nunavut de l’information qui les aidera à réaliser cet objectif. Il est important que les Inuits de votre communauté y participent afin que nous puissions connaître leur opinion sur les moyens à prendre pour que cette importante exigence de l’Accord soit respectée.

Nous désirons sonder des Inuits âgés de 18 à 64 ans inscrits en vertu de l’Accord sur les revendications territoriales du Nunavut. Ce mois-ci (juillet), des représentants de Malatest recueilleront des renseignements par sondage téléphonique. Un rapport sur les résultats de cette recherche sera publié sur le site Web de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, ainsi que le site Web de Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., six mois après la fin de tous les travaux sur le terrain.

La participation à cette recherche est volontaire et n’aura aucune incidence sur la relation des personnes sollicitées avec le gouvernement du Canada. Soyez assuré que l’anonymat de tous les participants sera respecté. Leurs noms ne seront pas divulgués, et les résultats finaux seront présentés par groupe d’individus, et jamais pour une seule personne. De plus, les participants n’auront jamais à divulguer de renseignements sur leurs finances, leurs comptes bancaires ou leurs cartes de crédit.

Les bénéficiaires de l’ARTN peuvent répondre au sondage par téléphone au 1-877-688-5051 (sans frais) en mentionnant le sondage au sujet de l’Accord sur les revendications territoriales du Nunavut lorsqu’ils appellent.

Si vous avez des questions, n’hésitez pas à téléphoner à Stephanie Gazzola au 780­448-9042 (sans frais : 1-877-665-6252) ou à lui envoyer un courriel à s.gazzola@malatest.com.

Nous nous réjouissons à l’idée de parler avec vous et d’apprendre des membres de votre communauté.

Recevez nos sincères salutations.

13 Regional language differences in French and Inuinnaqtun could not be reported due to small sample sizes.

14 Age and gender language differences in French and Inuinnaqtun could not be reported due to small sample sizes.

15 All respondents proficient in French were also proficient in English.

16 There were no respondents who were unilingual in Inuinnaqtun.

17 A probit regression on the probability of a respondent being employed by the government at the time of the survey (dependent variable) was conducted with respondent age, gender, region of residence, and educational attainment as the independent variables (n = 486, non-responses excluded).

18 A probit regression on the probability of a respondent being interested in government employment (dependent variable) was conducted with respondent age, gender, region of residence, and educational attainment as the independent variables (n=303, non-response data excluded).

19 Unilingual Inuktitut respondents not reported to maintain respondent confidentiality.

20 Respondents answered the open-ended question “What interests you in working for the Government or hamlet?” and their answers were then coded into the categories listed in Table 2.15.

21 Note, group sizes may be too small to detect statistically significant differences between language groups.

22 The remaining respondents chose not to respond to this question.

23 Sample sizes were too small to report differences between language groups on their reported co-workers’ use of Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun and maintain confidentiality.

24 Reliable sub-groups analyses could not be conducted by language due to small sample sizes.

25 2% of respondents did not know or chose not to respond.

26 Probit regression of gender, region of residence, and educational attainment on availability for government employment did not result in a statistically significant model which offered explanatory value.

27 Totals add to greater than 100% due to multiple responses.

28 Probing on participants’ use of the word “outsiders” revealed that they meant individuals from the southern provinces rather than people from elsewhere in Nunavut.

29 Note, group sizes may be too small to detect statistically significant differences between age groups.

30 Responses from Iqaluit residents were not reported to maintain confidentiality.

31 Note, group sizes may be too small to detect significant differences between language groups.

32 The remaining 3% of interested respondents did not know when they would be available.

33 Comprehensive bilingual and unilingual English group responses were not reported to maintain respondent confidentiality.

34 Significant differences between respondents in the grades below high school that they reported completing were not evident based on gender, age, or region. However, groups were frequently small thus the analysis may not be reliable.

35 Gender differences in the other degrees, diplomas, and certificates could not be reported due to low group sizes.

36 Results from Iqaluit were not included to maintain respondent confidentiality and maintain the reliability of significance testing.

37 A probit regression on the probability that respondents felt they had the right skills for government employment (dependent variable) was conducted with respondent age, gender, region of residence, and educational attainment as the independent variables (n=303, non-response data excluded).

38 Results from respondents unilingual in Inuktitut were not included to maintain respondent confidentiality and the reliability of significance testing.

39 Results not reported where group size is small, to maintain respondent confidentiality and the reliability of significance testing.

40 Government of Canada results were not reported due to small group sizes.

41 The sample size was too small to conduct reliable sub-group analyses.

42 Results not reported where group size is small, to maintain respondent confidentiality.

43 The sample size was too small to conduct reliable sub-group analyses.

44 “Other disadvantages” were drawn from responses included in the “Other” category in Table 2.47.

45 10% of training in which respondents engaged since starting to work for a government or hamlet employer was not provided by an employer and 1% of respondents did not know.

46 Sample sizes were not large enough for sub-group analysis by the other responses, or for analysis by age.

47 The remaining participants did not know if they were interested in advancement.

48 Sample sizes were not large enough for sub-group analysis by the other responses, or for analysis by age.
