"Digging Deeper" Themed Indigenous Workforce Development Discussion Panel

This past Sunday marked a significant milestone for both the Gitxsan Development Corporation and the broader conversation on sustainable community development. Our COO, Chaz Ware, took the stage at the "Digging Deeper" themed Indigenous Workforce Development Discussion Panel by ERM. Chaz’s presentation delved into the innovative strategies to transition Indigenous community members from jobs to rewarding careers. His insights provided a profound look at the importance of a holistic approach that respects cultural values, emphasizes education and skill development, and fosters strong partnerships for sustainable success.

We extend our deepest appreciation to the event organizers and attendees for this opportunity to contribute to such a significant dialogue. Together, we are shaping a future that honors tradition while embracing innovation.
