Celebrating FN Careers: Season 2 Call for Speakers
Keewaytinook Okimakanak, as the Regional Management Office for INAC’s First Nation SchoolNet, is beginning to plan their fall line up for the second installment of ecareers. This e-learning initiative is meant to inspire youth by showing anything is possible with determination and passion.
In Season One, we saw examples of how First Nation leaders harnessed their interests and passions into careers that are contributing to the communities they are from. All Interviews are showcased on our Meeting Place: http://ecareers.knet.ca .
We are looking forward to meeting new role models in Season Two. If you would like to nominate a speaker in your community, or would like some more information on this program please contact:
