Questions on training in the housing sector

(Click here if you prefer to see a video)

Thank you for taking 15 minutes out of your very busy day to complete the following 10 questions.

The reason we are asking for your help today is because, as you may already know, the AFNQL has adopted a Regional Housing Strategy with three axes.  The first axis is called "Capacity and Competency Development".

The First Nations Adult Education School Council has been mandated with the task of better understanding housing managers' training needs as well as the training needs of elected officials dealing with housing and tenants too.  So, we thought we would consult with the experts: YOU.  Once we have an understanding of the training needs, what the positive aspects of putting the training in place and what the possible challenges may be, we will prepare a report on all the findings to submit to the AFNQL.

As such, we would like you to consider what is currently available for you as a housing manager or agent, as well as what is available to the portfolio holder on council and the tenants in your housing units.  Then, take a few minutes to answer the questions that follow, to the best of your ability.

Since we appreciate your help, everyone who completes a survey will receive a $15 prepaid Tim Horton's card.  Just leave your name and address at the end of the survey and we'll send one to you before the holidays.
