TAKE A SURVEY
AND WIN AN iPAD! The Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Nations have received a grant from the Province of British Columbia to do a Human Resources survey. We are hiring four community members to do the surveys (see posting in the job posting section) which have to be completed by March 25 so we can get the report in by March 31. The purpose of this survey is so that we can build a database of community members with information about your age, education, volunteer and work experience, interests, job readiness, etc. This information will be made available to staff who can help you get the training you need to get the career that you want. This project is a continuation of the “Hopes & Dreams” survey that was done in 1994. This survey will also help us target jobs to the people that can fill them. If you are between the ages of 15 and 65, and a member of the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw community (on or off reserve, status or non-status) you can get a $10 gift card for gas or groceries, and a chance to win an iPad, iPod touch, or other prizes.
For more information, call Jessie Hemphill at 949-8343, e-mail jessieh@gwanakplan.org or post a question on the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw Facebook page.
