Skills and Development Training
We provide financial support to eligible Bkejwanong band members who are seeking post-secondary training at a public or private training institution. Programs Must be less than one year in length. Each training opportunity must provide the participant with accreditation, certification, or licensing upon completion of the training program. The training must also improve the employment prospects of the participant upon completion of the training program. To be considered for funding, Bkejwanong band members must make a training request to Employment & Training, be engaged in a case management process and have an employment action plan developed jointly with a Giyakiishchigewin employment counsellor.
