It’s an honour as Chairman of Tribal Chiefs Employment and Training to acknowledge the continued successes of our initiatives and respective programs with all participating Nations in our TCV area. As our Nations continue to work through this evolution of time, we remain focused on our vision and commitment to sustain our organization and initiatives. This year has proven eventful and as we had to refine our views and approaches, we know we can overcome great challenges. We must forge a collective path to meet the needs of our members through innovative program development. We will continue to strive for excellence and plan accordingly to our local needs and being mindful of global trends. As we move forward, I commend your families for life’s current adjustments and global changes that have impacted all our lives. I remain positive and our continued patience will be rewarded in time. Our past and current organizational results are demonstrated at each of your nations and these successes can only exemplify a brighter future that awaits us all. I encourage each of you to continue on your path to overcome the challenges and create those opportunities to succeed in all aspects of life. Sincerely, Kevin Half A FEW WORDS FROM OUR OPERATIONS MANAGER As always it is my pleasure to share the highlights for the 2019-2020 Fiscal Year on behalf of Tribal Chiefs Employment and Training Services Association (“TCETSA”). Let me start with the objectives of the ISET Program, they are: to support First Nations in developing employment skills by pursuing training for employment and long-term careers, and by recognizing their unique needs, with the ultimate objective of closing the employment, earnings, and skills gaps between First Nations and non-Indigenous people; and to support and enhance capacity of First Nations service delivery organizations and structures to customize culturally-appropriate services to support their clients throughout the employment continuum by developing and improving skills and employment training The past fiscal year was filled with exciting opportunities and many challenges. Some of the highlights are: TCETSA served 1111 clients and of those 384 secured meaningfully employment. In addition, 105 clients made the decision to pursue further education. Increased our overall partnership numbers. Special recognition to the following: Stuart Olson, Osum, Imperial Oil. Government of Alberta/Federal Ministries: Employment & Social Development Canada, Service Canada Alberta Labour, Alberta Indigenous Relations and Alberta Advanced Education, Other Agency support: Dave Ferro Safety Ltd., Alberta Construction Safety Association, Coyes & Associates, Lac La Biche Friendship Centre, Spirit Staffing, Edmonton International Airport, Enoch Cree Nation, Onion Lake Cree Nation and Oteenow Employment & Training. THANK YOU all so much for your continued support and guidance to our programming!!! Challenges: Alberta’s economic outlook for 2019.2020 projections were bleak Covid-19 struck in December 2019 Global Pandemic announced March 2020 with strict mandatory quarantine rules Recession forecasted I would like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication shown by our sub-agreement holders; St. Paul Small Urban Office, Beaver Lake Cree Nation, Frog Lake First Nation, Heart Lake First Nation, Kehewin Cree Nation and Whitefish Lake First Nation #128, NEAAI and the Xpressions Arts & Design Program. The staff work tirelessly to ensure that clients are positively impacted by providing training and mentorship so that clients can continue to participate in the economy. Keep up the excellent work!!I TCETSA held two Tiny Home Projects (Frog Lake First Nation and Onion Lake Cree Nation) which provided on-hands work experience to clients and helps to address housing shortages. In total 25 trainees took part in the initiative, learning Carpentry, Electrical and Plumbing skills. 19 of the trainees completed the training which ran from September to mid-March 2020. The trainees constructed three tiny homes. Now three happy families will be moving into the houses. As well our clients will continue on to pursue careers in either Carpentry, Electrical or Plumbing with an opportunity of acquiring hours through the Pathways to Apprenticeship Initiative. Additionally, TCETSA works closely with the TCV Daycares to ensure compliance, a safe environment and quality programming for parents utilizing the 342 Daycares spaces. First Nation Daycares are vital to job seekers and student success. As we embark on the new fiscal year, TCETSA remains focused on finding innovative ways to work through the Covid-19 rebuild. We will continue to lead by leveraging the T.R.E.A.T.Y Model process of integrated service delivery and working closely with the TCETSA Board, funders, partners, staff and sub-agreement holders, “Together we will succeed”. Sincerely, Eva John-Gladue to all of our partners as none of this Thank you would have been possible without you! Indigenous Relations ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OUR TREATY MODEL SUCCESS STORIES FROM 2019-2020 NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY AND THE EDMONTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT In partnership with the Tribal Chiefs Employment and Training Services Association (TCETSA), Enoch Cree Nation and the Edmonton International Airport we hosted a cultural celebration on June 20, 2019 at the Edmonton International Airport to commemorate National Indigenous Peoples Day. Thanks to Alberta Indigenous Relations for the funding provided to make this day possible. The successful event showcased traditional dances by men, women, teens and tiny tots, Metis Jiggers as well as, powwow drummers and Metis fiddler’s music and Indigenous Art. Agenda: Cultural performances included the various Pow Welcome Prayer from Elder Roland Dion, Kehewin Wow categories: Cree Nation Prayer Men’s – Traditional, Fancy, Grass & Chicken Dancers Opening Remarks from Dignitaries Women’s – Traditional, Fancy & Jingle Dancers Tom Ruth, President, Edmonton International Teen Boy’s – Fancy, Grass & Chicken Dancers Airport Teen Girl’s – Fancy & Jingle Dancers Chief Billy Morin, Enoch Cree Nation Junior Boy’s – Fancy, Grass & Chicken Dancers Kevin Half, TCETSA Board Chair Junior Girl’s – Fancy & Jingle Dancers Closing Prayer, Elder Beatrice Morin, Enoch Cree Tiny Tot – Traditional & Grass Dancers Nation Hoop Dancers Charlton Thomas, Emcee Metis fiddlers and jiggers Number of Performers: Indigenous Vendors: 27 Pow Wow Performers 4 Indigenous Vendors were on site with Arts & 9 Enoch Cree Nation Pow Wow Royalty Crafts available for sale 2 Hoop Dancers 4 Metis Performers 1 Fiddle Player The Event concluded with a Round Dance and Photo Opportunity with all dancers and musicians. 1 Drum Group Estimated Number of Spectators: 200 – 250 total guests/spectators This year were are proud to welcome Devon School SUCCESS STORIES FROM 2019-2020 INDIGENOUS BUSINESS DIRECTORY TCETSA has created a Indigenous Business Directory consisting of Private/Band Owned Businesses from the 6 TCV Nations, Saddle Lake Cree Nations as well as Joint Venture Businesses that are operating in various sectors of Industry. Numerous hours of Research, content writing, and draft designs were developed to ensure the accuracy of the information. This information was hard to capture as the Nations does not have a central registry whereby new businesses would register similar to the Alberta Registries offices situated off First Nations. With the information gathered TCETSA will host an Indigenous Business Engagement Event/Job Fair. Our goal is to bridge our Indigenous Business Owners with procurement opportunities with Non-Indigenous Businesses. This would match our Indigenous workforce (supply) with Alberta’s Industry sectors (demand) by hosting an Indigenous Business Engagement Event and Job Fair.
