This webinar is part of the Workforce Development Webinar Series hosted by the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) Tribal Wellbeing for Seven Generations Program.
Summary
Join the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) for our ongoing webinar series focused on Workforce Development. During this session, ITEP is hosting the National Congress of American Indians' (NCAI) Workforce Development Toolkit 2.0. This toolkit shares the findings of NCAI’s ongoing research examining the innovative approaches to workforce development that Tribal Nations and other Native-led workforce development entities are forging, how they are achieving success (as they define it), and why.
The Native Conservancy will also join as a presenter and will speak about their workforce development efforts related to Kelp Farming, Dive Training, and more through the PeopleBack program. The PeopleBack program works through education, training, and investment in local economies. The Native Conservancy supports communities to return to the places that have always been home, bringing strength, knowledge, and stewardship for everyone’s benefit.
Presenters:
Ian Record, Ph.D. Principal, Ian Record Consulting - National Congress of American Indians
Dune Lankard, Eyak and Athabaskan - President and Founder of Native Conservancy
