First Nations

Outland understands the emerging role Aboriginal communities have in the sustainable management of Canada’s forest resources and is committed to partnering with First Nations, industry and educational partners to assist in providing employment and training opportunities. Outland’s range of training and employment initiatives illustrates a strong social consciousness with respect to the traditional lands and communities on or adjacent to our forest operations. Outland has become an industry leader in facilitating effective capacity building environments for Aboriginal youth and is committed to developing its northern workforce to reflect the imminent demographic shifts in Canada ’s northern populations.

• Youth development and mentoring programs
• Cooperative capacity building training/work initiatives
• Post training program employment opportunities available in Outland’s forestry operations

Since every training program is unique, we encourage you to contact Dave Bradley directly if you are interested in learning more about developing a First Nation Training Program.

Outland is proud to be in partnership with Confereration College in implementing the First Nations Natural Resources Youth Employment Program (FNNRYEP). For details on this program please go to the following link: www.forestrycentre.ca
