SmartIce is recruiting for the 2023 employment readiness and technology development program starting on May 23rd.
This is the first women and gender-diverse persons only cohort at the Northern Production Centre in Nain, Nunatsiavut.
The program is open to youth ages 18-30 and will run from May 23 – June 22, 2023. Taking place Monday – Thursday from 9:00a.m – 3:00p.m. With the wage of $17.50.
Women face many barriers to successful employment. Wrap around supports are available for program participants to help reduce the everyday stresses which often inhibit employment success.
The youth participants learn skills such as digital and financial literacy, resume building, skill building (Lean, WHMIS) and STEM skills such as how to assemble the Smart Buoy ice monitoring sensor, which are then shipped to communities across the Arctic.
The goal of the program is to prepare participants to success in the current labor market. Ongoing career support will be provided by WRDC following completion of the training program.
This program is in partnership with Smart Ice, Pinnguaq and the women in resource development corporation.
To apply, please contact Rex Holwell by May 22nd, at rex@smartice.org or by phone at 709-922-2074. No resume required.
