Heinrich said the funding is designed to encourage colleges and institutes to develop innovative and imaginative training programs. "There's a tremendous wealth of talent and potential within our network of colleges and institutes," Heinrich said. "I intend to tap that reservoir of expertise in determining how to allocate this $5.8 million. Heinrich said $1.4 million will be earmarked for grants to help operations of satellite centres in interior colleges, $3 million will go to help develop new, high-priority programs and to buy equipiriint to inprove productivity, and $2.4 million will be set aside to help maintain levels of service at the colleges and institutes. The minister said the door is wide open for institutes in terms of the kinds of projects which might qualify under the $5.8 million fund. "Our aim is to encourage creative development programs that will allow colleges and institutes to build on their particular strengths and expertise, matching them with the needs of local industry and business," the Minister said. Examples could include projects that could provide specialized service training to resource industries, projects that help in the transfer of skills and technology to the business community or projects that could help inprove production of goods and services. Heinrich said it is anticipated some of the projects could involve other provincial ministries and have federal involvement through agencies such as Canada Employment and Immigration. The Minister added he also wants to see proposals that entail the involvement of municipal governments and the province's small business sector and entrepreneurs.
