Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council Employment Training

Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council is a First Nations organization that works to preserve, protect, and promote the Nuu-chah-nulth culture, language, and traditions.

The training department, Nuu-chah-nulth Employment and Training Program (NETP) contracted Origin Leadership Consulting to design and facilitate Employment Success Training Programs that focused on Computer/Digital Literacy Skills, Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint), Typing and Keyboarding, Workplace, Telephone & Online Etiquette, Navigate & Operate basic office systems, Communicate with Managers, Colleagues & Clients, Verbal/Non-Verbal & Written Communication.

The goal was to work with participants-many who were living in remote communities to have better employment opportunities and to learn in a safe, supportive environment. Origin worked with the NETP team, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers to design a program that was culturally informed and supported different styles of learning.  

Origin facilitated over 20 programs, each one for a duration of approximately 120 hours of training. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive: they appreciated how the course was tailored to their needs, appreciated the practicality of the material covered, and felt that it made them more confident in their job search.
