Six Nations Workforce Development Think Tank 
Ohsweken (January 20, 2010) - On February 19, 20, 2010

The people of Six Nations will be asked to bring their minds together to discuss and strategize ways of developing Six Nations workforce. A healthy and well balanced workforce is an integral part of a community and is essential for its sustainability and the well being of its citizens. The term "Think Tank", was selected as, in this case, it refers to a forum for fostering public interest and participation in human resource development. 

The think tank will be held at Six Nations Polytechnic on Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February 20, 2010 beginning at 9:00 am. February 20th will be a repeat of the first day for those who are unable to attend on February 19th. Citizens of Six Nations living on and off reserve including youth, business owners, service providers, job seekers and the general public are invited to attend this important event. Pre-registration for this event is being recommended. Keynote Speaker Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos First Nation in British Columbia will share his experience creating a community economic development action plan. Chief Louie is widely recognized in Canada and the United States for his direct approach to economic development as the means for achieving social and economic self sufficiency.
