Our Vision
Employment & Training assists band members in becoming employed through training or education, short-term work experience, career exploration, job searching, employer wage subsides, on-the-job and business plan training.
Funding is received on a year-to-year basis from the Government of Canada and ISETS (Indigenous Skill Employment and Training Strategy).
Through communal support Pine Creek First Nation recognizes that investing in individual development will result in prosperity for all.
Pine Creek First Nation encourages diversity of learning by providing services that will build knowledge and skills while fostering attitudes of community and individual pride.
Clarity of vision will crystallize the Seven Anishinabe Teachings:
LOVE (eagle), COURAGE (bear), WISDOM (beaver), TRUTH (turtle), RESPECT (buffalo), HONESTY (Sasquatch), and HUMILITY (wolf).
Our Program Motto is, “COME DREAM WITH US.”
About the Program
The main goal of PCFN E&T is to prepare band members for employment by providing support for short-term training or education. Funding support may be provided for short-term work experience, career exploration, job start-up, and employer wage subsidy (i.e. employment insurance, income assistance), training or education programs less than one year in duration. Please contact the Employment & Training personnel if you are not sure whether you may qualify for this program.
PCFN E&T entered an agreement with the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy Canada (ASETS) through First Peoples Development Inc. which has been developed to reduce federal employment insurance costs whereby assisting Aboriginal people to become gainfully employed. PCFN E&T is monitored on a monthly basis and the current operating funding agreement will end March 31, 2018.
AS PCFN E&T nears the end of the funding agreement, an evaluation and federal budget consideration will take place to determine whether continued support of the program may occur.
