April 17, 2024

At GREAT, our focus is on providing employment and training support to Six Nations band members – but beyond that, it's about fostering empowerment, building pathways to success, and honouring Indigenous culture and values. As an Indigenous non-profit organization, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for our students to thrive in the workforce, within our community, and beyond.

 

What do we do?

Our mission is to provide employment and training support to members of the Six Nations community who are seeking to achieve their career goals. At GREAT, our approach is holistic, addressing barriers to employment, education, and training while honouring Indigenous ways.

From skills training to job placements and community initiatives, we offer a wide range of programs and services tailored to meet the diverse needs of Six Nations Band Members. From resume assistance and employment counseling to needs assessments, job referrals, and job placements, GREAT is here to support our community every step of the way, and we are dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to pursue their dreams.

 

Connecting to the community…

Through strategic partnerships with local employers, we facilitate job placements and career advancements, ensuring that our clients have access to meaningful employment opportunities.

We recognize that securing and maintaining a job is just as crucial as preparing for the workforce. That's why we're constantly evolving to better serve our clients by developing services tailored to connect employers with the skilled workforce of Six Nations.

Our initiatives focus on bridging the gap between job seekers and employers through a range of services designed to streamline the hiring process. From outreach programs to employer databases, marketing campaigns, and promotional efforts, we're dedicated to creating opportunities for our clients to showcase their talents and connect with potential employers.

By building strong partnerships with local businesses and employers, we're not just preparing our clients for the workforce – we're actively working to ensure that they have access to meaningful employment opportunities that align with their skills and aspirations.

 

Our Impact…

For our team, our impact goes beyond just numbers and statistics. It's about making a real difference in people's lives. By equipping our students with the knowledge and confidence they need to succeed, we're not just creating opportunities – we're helping to build brighter futures for Six Nations Band Members and their families. That’s why we do what we do.
