Specialized Career and Employment Services for Underrepresented Women in the Transportation Industry

The Government of Saskatchewan, through the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training, is seeking to award a contract to YWCA Saskatoon Inc. to deliver specialized transportation industry training targeted at underrepresented women. This initiative aims to enhance workforce participation by providing women with the skills, support, and resources needed to enter and succeed in the transportation sector. The contract falls under the solicitation number ICT-ACA-291, which was posted on July 28, 2026, with responses due by August 12, 2026. The program will be delivered within Saskatchewan and is designed to address barriers faced by women in accessing non-traditional employment pathways. The procurement is managed by the Saskatchewan Public Sector under the Career and Employment Services division, with Andrea Dielschneider serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. Interested parties can find further details through the official SaskTenders portal, though no specific set-aside classification or NAICS code is indicated. The initiative reflects a broader commitment to equity and workforce inclusion, focusing on empowering women through targeted career training that aligns with provincial labor market needs in the transportation industry.
