Upgrading

Human Resource Development Authority delivers upgrading skill development program as part of our sponsorship initiative. Community members who apply for sponsorship to any of the program are required to attend the program as a proof of their commitment. We believe that it will help to increase the success ratio of sponsored students, as they would know more about their career choices as they go through the skill development program and on the other hand it will also help to spare some of the resources in terms of time and cost.

Summer Student Program:

Human Resource Development Authority is committed to helping post secondary students continue and complete their education by providing students an opportunity to gain work experience and earn income to continue their studies. Under this program employers are eligible to receive a wage incentive to assist in the creation of new positions. Employers who provide an average of 35 hours per week of part time career related employment experience during the summer vacation of the school year are eligible to receive wage incentives for up to two and half month of employment. Participating students have opportunity to gain valuable experience necessary for developing work skills and may establish contact leading them to permanent employment in field of their choice. Applications are received throughout the year identifying potential employers in Nelson House and Thompson. Students are encouraged to contact summer student program coordinator by June 15 of each year.

Life Skills

It is important for our youth to understand how the world is understood by our traditions and the knowledge of our ancestors, acquired over centuries, by living with nature and its environment as they have to carry it to the next generation. We have this responsibility to integrate these life long learning’s into a course to be taught to our students. This 15 days course is offered as part of upgrading skill development program where students learn about traditional ways of dealing with complex problems of western world. It helps them understand their concept of existence; it gives meanings to their life. It helps them motivate for learning and participate in the process of life.

Employment Assistance

Human Resource Development Authority has shifted it focus from program management to case management and maintains a database for the community members to determine the status of their employment and works in coordination with Government of Canada (employment Insurance) through the office of Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs. Its purpose is to help people find and keep jobs and reduce their dependency on employment Insurance and social assistance. Our employment councillor provides one on one counselling sessions to clients who need assistance in reporting various matters to the Government of Canada. However we encourage our clients to visit
