Indigenous youth and students can take part in several programs that can help build their resumes.
The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry is offering a number of positions for First Nation, Metis and Inuit peoples.
Students aged 15 to 24 can apply for the Indigenous Youth Work Exchange Program, which will allow them to get work experience in natural resource management.
Job types include working in an office or lab or monitoring the health of forests.
In addition, graduates with a college or university diploma, degree or post-graduate certificate can apply to the Indigenous Internship Program.
If the candidate has graduated within five years of their program, they may be offered a salaried contract for up to 12 months. They offer positions for biologists, communication, forestry, survey and mapping and several others.
