Aimed at providing employment and training support to its members, Matawa First Nations Management officially opened the Kiikenomaga Kikenjigewen Resource Centre (KKETS) March 31.
Staff at the centre work with Matawa community members looking for assistance and guidance with jobs and careers.
“Staff will guide them through the process, regardless of age or skill level,” KKETS manager Morris Wapoose said. “With access to computers, Internet, on-line job research, fax machines, resume materials and referral to community services, this will help clients make a step in the right direction.”
The centre replaces Matawa Employment and Training which had run since 2005.
The new program started in October.
