Building their own futures
On National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21, 2023, we are celebrating by sharing inspiring stories about Indigenous job seekers who connected with WorkBC to find their own path to employment.
With collaborative support from their communities and WorkBC, funded through the Canada-British Columbia Labour Market Development Agreement (LMDA), these people chose interesting careers and leveraged the wide range of supports available to get the training and experience they needed to succeed.
Indigenous people can also access Indigenous Skills and Employment Training services which are located throughout the province.
