We have extensive experience designing and delivering programming funded by Indigenous Skills and Employment Training, as well as Provincial and Federal Programs for Indigenous People and Equity Seeking Groups.

They explain things in a way I can understand and use the information. I have a head injury so sometimes I forget things. I am able to remember much of what they teach.”

“I have noticed a big difference. All participants I have spoken to have had very positive things to say. They took the program seriously and it gave them structure. They all really looked forward to going”.
– Liard First Nation Band Councilor
“My thoughts have been in a dark place for a long time, so keeping positive has been difficult over the last few years but I have been improving over the last four days and just being around others has helped me not be so afraid of the world."
- Liard First Nation Program Participant
This course was amazingly well received by my clients. I feel the way it was presented is most of why the people were probably successful. The feedback that I hear is that they would all love to do something else similar, or in conjunction to this.”
- Angela Miller, Safe at Home Coordinator, Watson Lake, Yukon
I know this will help with job search and keeping a job. I started using bits and pieces of everything already with family at home and I notice the difference in my kids and myself already. Just have to keep using it every day to make it a lifestyle.”
