Empowering Indigenous Communities
Project-Specific Training by Manitoba Construction Sector Council
Indigenous Training
Manitoba Construction Sector Council delivers Project Specific training in remote Indigenous communities to support community employment on any local upcoming construction projects. Courses are industry-driven to address the skill gaps identified on local construction projects. Students are selected by the community; Instructors are most often Indigenous and wherever possible from the community where training is delivered. Graduates of the micro-credential courses find employment to gain experience and advance their careers to post-secondary education programs. Their stories of success need to be shared to inspire others.
