A federally funded program will mean training and four weeks of work in construction and other trades for as many as 200 people in Saskatoon.

The 770-thousand dollar project which will run over 31 weeks includes Indigenous youth, recent immigrants and visible minorities.

Another 2.4 million Federal dollars will mean 31 weeks of training and work experience for around another 200 young people in the tourism and service industries.

That project is spread over 12 communities across Saskatchewan.
