Linking Ability with Opportunity
Serving First Nation, Metis and Inuit Manitobans
Overview of our Services
Job Placement
Partners for Careers - our core business
is job placement with an emphasis on First Nation, Metis, Inuit graduates of
High School, College, University and specialized training. The work of placing
graduates is delivered by contracted delivery agencies: all 10 rural Friendship
Centres - call in Winnipeg, 942-6299 or go to www.mac.mb.ca;
and Staffing Solutions at the Centre for Aboriginal Human Resource Development
(CAHRD) - call in Winnipeg, 989-7122 or go to www.cahrd.org.
Single Source for Information on Programs, Initiatives and Community Resources
The office of the Executive Director of Partners for Careers operates this
"signpost" to services. A storefront, accessible resource
centre, offers information on all the programs and services, agencies
and initiatives, government programs etc available. As a referral
service, we help Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people sort through
the wealth of programs related to employment, training, education
and community supports (housing, recreation) and we direct them
to those services. As of April 2005, we have a new location at 510
Selkirk Avenue - the Murdo Scribe Centre - will be share space with
staff from Manitoba's Employment and Training Services and the Aboriginal
Education Directorate. We also have representatives from the Apprenticeship
Branch and Student Financial Aid here on a rotating basis. We work
to connect with schools and area programs to share our information
directly with them. Drop by and see us or contact the Executive
Director at 945-0447 or e-mail: rhewson@gov.mb.ca
Guide to Winnipeg for Aboriginal Newcomers
The Partners for Careers' Guide
to Winnipeg for Aboriginal Newcomers is supplied free of
charge to Aboriginal client-serving agencies. As Aboriginal people
move to Winnipeg, whether for a short or a long time, we have created
this guide to assist them in getting connected to the larger community.
Information is included on housing, transportation, shopping, cultural
organizations and much more. Just call 945-0447 to order free copies
for your own use or several copies for your organization.
Aboriginal Youth Mean Business!
Partners for Careers hosts an annual event that brings together services that
support Aboriginal entrepreneurship and connects those organizations with the
youth who are exploring business ownership as a way to serve their communities
and their peers. Youth who are at all stages of starting or operating a business
can connect to the many service that exist in Manitoba to help them start or
grow their business. All business support services along with a database of
existing Aboriginal businesses are available on our new web site: www.aymb.ca
or call Roberta at 945-0447 for more information.
