About the program:
The First Nations Natural Resources Youth Employment Program is coordinated and administered in partnership with Confederation College and industry partners.
This two-year program provides Aboriginal youth aged 16-18 (some exceptions may be negotiated through First Nations communities) from First Nations communities in Northern Ontario the opportunity to work on forestry projects, receive workplace training and take personal development workshops.
Participants live in camps and report to work daily.
Recruitment for these positions is facilitated through Confederation College in the spring, in partnership with participating First Nation communities.
