Train the Trainer: Supporting Ukrainian Evacuees Across Rural Alberta

This project is designed to support rural communities, service providers, community-based organizations, immigrant-serving agencies, employment centres and municipalities in understanding the unique needs and barriers faced by Ukrainian evacuees settling in rural Albertan communities.   

The training will include: 

• Background information on the situation in Ukraine, and characteristics, specific needs, and common pathways and experiences of Ukrainian evacuees;  
• Approaches to appropriate service provision such as cultural competency and trauma-informed care; and 
• Workshops specific to non-traditional settlement groups, such as: employment (private businesses, employment assistance and adult learning agencies), education (SWIS workers, schools), and housing (landlords, property management companies, and host families). 

The project will provide a five-part virtual training series to participants from October to December 2024.
