This initiative is to replace the existing Student Financial Assistance (SFA) platform to improve the user experience for students, while also streamlining the application approval process for SFA Officers, in turn reducing the time required for funding eligibility decisions. The new portal will enable students to enter, view, and update their personal information as part of a persistent profile that can be used to apply for student financial assistance from Territorial (Yukon Grant, Student Training Allowance, Yukon Excellence Awards, and four scholarships) and Federal (Canada Student loans (both full-time and part-time), Canada Student Grants) sources, and interact with SFA Officers.

Worker's Safety and Compensation Board Yukon (WSCB) data in People, Metrics, Analytics and Projects (PMAP)
Privacy Impact Assessment #: PSC-PIA-2023-01
Public Body Name : Public Service Commission
Date of Approval: Tuesday, February 21, 2023
The People, Metrics, Analytics and Projects (PMAP) Branch within the Public Service Commission (PSC) is responsible for providing information to senior leaders and decision makers to enable evidence and data-based decisions. The branch will use Worker's Safety and Compensation Board (WSCB) data and transform it into illustrative and dynamic models. These models will assist senior management with evidence-based decision making.
The benefit of evidence-based data is that strategic planning and resources can be targeted to address specific workplace and business issues. For example, the analysis of accidents versus lack of training uptake by staff may justify mandatory training. Without metrics, resources may be randomly applied to initiatives that may not address gaps. Evidence-based data therefore facilitates efficient use of resources towards impactful business and workplace solutions.
