Join us in a journey that will ignite your skills

We all have knowledge, skills and gifts that help us along in our journey.

But if we don’t know how to identify these qualities— or don’t see their value— It’s much harder to reach our employment and training goals.

Igniting the Power Within is a four-level series of certification workshops on Essential Skills and Recognizing Prior Learning (RPL).This training is aimed at Employment-related Coordinators, Training and Employment Counselors and Outreach Workers.

Each workshop will give you powerful tools for helping clients to identify and document their skills, knowledge and gifts as well as the steps they can take towards their goals.

First Nations, Métis and educational organizations have all worked together to create these workshops to meet the needs of Aboriginal communities.

Training includes lots of “learning by doing”. Honouring the oral tradition, workshops use drama performances, role-playing and hands-on activities.

This will give you a deep understanding of the material.

You can then pass this learning on to others.

With the training from Igniting the Power Within I am better able to do my job and I can explain to clients what they need. Using the portfolio as an employment and self-identity tool for Aboriginal people is a new awareness for me.
