RESEARCH REPORT ON THE SURVEY OF ABORIGINAL SERVICES
Introduction:
The First Nations people at the Conestoga College is getting affected. The survey has
been conducted because the Manager of the Aboriginal Services wants to determine the
students’ current awareness regarding the aboriginal services and also if the students are
aware of the First Nations people in the college. The organisation that has been selected for
the conduct of the survey is the Aboriginal Services and its awareness among the students of
the Conestoga College.
Discussion:
Self-determination is an on-going process which ensures that the indigenous
communities are able to meet their social economic and cultural needs. The survey of the
Aboriginal services held at the Conestoga College says that very few students of the college
are aware of the location of the aboriginal service office as well as the services provided by
them((www.aboriginaljustice.vic.gov.au. , 2019). The results of the survey when analysed, it
was founded that there was a great need to increase the awareness of the Aboriginal Services.
The survey had also aimed at finding responses about the effect over the First Nations people
at the Conestoga College After the completion of the survey, there were many people who
were keen onto finding out about these services since the students’ current awareness of the
service were very less and the students are not much aware of the First Nations People.
However, there were also students who were not sure about themselves. There has been no
secondary research and the primary research survey says that a large number of students are
still aware of the Aboriginal services (www.aboriginaljustice.vic.gov.au. , 2019). The
significance of this analysis is that the students are unaware of the company but there has
been a desire among them to know about the company as well. (Roberts, Reid, 2017).

Effective workplace communication strategies involve leadership tone. Proper
undivided attention towards the employee, listening to their grievances and understanding
them will improve the communication in the workplace. The body language and the words
that are to be used, must be kept in consideration. There must be proper interaction between
the employees and the manager, so that there is fruitful information exchange and there is
inspiration (Moley, 2015).

Conclusions
The significance of this analysis is that the students are unaware of the company but
there has been a desire among them to know about the company as well. The survey had also
aimed at finding responses about the effect over the First Nations people at the Conestoga
College (Roberts, Reid, 2017) The possible strengths of the analysis can be that the students
who have not been aware of the Aboriginal Services would get to know about them. On the
other hand, the weakness of this survey is that since the survey does not include one on one
conversation, there is a lack of the in depth analysis. Also the reliability of the responses is a
major question (Perreault, 2015).
