Join the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) for our ongoing webinar series focused on Workforce Development. During this session, ITEP is pleased to be 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.

The Status of Tribes and Climate Change (STACC) report series elevates the voices and efforts of Indigenous Peoples, Nations, and communities and provides a space within published literature to share stories about the climate change impacts we are experiencing and the solutions we are implementing in our communities. The reports are acts of resilience and self-determination intended to uplift Indigenous experiences and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in local, national, and global conversations.

To further uplift these Knowledges, ITEP is excited to announce a webinar series dedicated to the STACC Report, Volume 2, which was released in Spring 2025. The webinar series brings to life discussions amongst chapter authors and provides a space for public conversation and questions. The Indigenous-Led Conservation webinar is designed to be a community conversation.
