Aboriginal Statistics Training Course by Distance Ed from Oshki

In partnership with Trican Multimedia and Statistics Canada, Oshki-Pimache-O-Win Education and Training Institute has developed Statistics Canada’s Aboriginal Statistical Training Course for distance delivery. The course is designed to prepare participants to locate, collect and effectively utilize statistical data, and may be of interest to anyone involved in organizational or community-based planning, programming, evaluation, or decision-making.

The course will be piloted beginning June 22, 2004 and we are looking for participants to be part of this initial offering. Because this is a pilot course, only ten participants will be accepted. All participants must have a working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and be familiar with using the Internet and e-mail. The deadline for applications is Thursday, June 10, 2004. Qualified applicants will be accepted on a first-come basis. There is no fee for this pilot offering of the course.

For further information, or to register for the course, contact Stephen Chase at (807) 346-2779, or by e-mail at schase@oshki.ca.
