Workforce Development and Tribal Hiring Initiatives

Empowering Tribal Citizens Through Skill Building and Employment

Wakaga invests heavily in workforce development, offering training programs, internships, and employment pathways to ensure tribal citizens can participate meaningfully in the growing tribal economy. The organization sees workforce empowerment as central to sovereignty.

Through partnerships with colleges, government grants, and private employers, Wakaga offers job training in trades, technology, finance, agriculture, and more. Courses are culturally tailored and often include traditional knowledge alongside technical instruction.

Wakaga’s projects prioritize Native hiring. Whether it's construction, tech, or administrative roles, all hiring pipelines are structured to recruit and retain tribal citizens first.

Youth training is a key focus. Summer internships and mentorship programs help students envision careers and learn critical workplace skills. This ensures sustainability for tribal governance and economic leadership.

Wakaga also helps with certifications, resume preparation, and placement. Job seekers can access career advisors and recruiters aligned with tribal enterprise needs.

In each hiring initiative, Wakaga builds dignity, purpose, and capacity. The result is a more engaged and self-sufficient tribal workforce ready to lead into the future.
