Sometimes all it takes is the right training, the right opportunity and one meaningful conversation.

After completing Tourism Saskatchewan's Workplace Essentials and Front Desk Agent training through the Work Readiness program, Nicholas Anderson attended a Belong hiring event in Regina. There, he connected with an employer, showcased the skills he had developed and ultimately secured a position as a full-time Guest Services Agent.

Nicholas' journey demonstrates how industry training, inclusive hiring initiatives and strong employer partnerships can create meaningful career opportunities in Saskatchewan's tourism sector.

Congratulations to Nicholas, the Autism Resource Centre, Sleep Inn Regina East and everyone involved in supporting this success story. Together, we're helping build a stronger, more inclusive tourism workforce.

Tourism Saskatchewan recently welcomed facilitators from across Saskatchewan for its annual Facilitator Professional Development Day, focused on learning, collaboration and continuous professional growth.

Each year, this event provides an opportunity to strengthen facilitation skills, share best practices and learn from one another, helping ensure we continue to deliver relevant training to tourism operators across Saskatchewan.

A highlight of the day was an inspiring session led by Indigenous Heritage Educator Honey Constant-Inglis, who shared valuable perspectives on Indigenous heritage education and ways of knowing. Their presentation encouraged meaningful reflection and offered practical insights for creating more inclusive and respectful learning environments.

Thank you to all of our facilitators for your ongoing commitment to excellence, and to Honey for sharing her knowledge, experience and perspectives with us.
