Train the Trainer: Supporting Ukrainian Evacuees Across Rural Alberta

The project will develop and deliver a train-the-trainer, capacity-building training series that will provide relevant information and resources about Ukrainian evacuees, their specific needs, and appropriate approaches to service provision. The training will also promote wider community capacity building, knowledge sharing, and further sustainability of these capacity-building efforts.

About the Project

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.
