Canada’s Ocean Supercluster and several First Nations community partners have launched a new program to help Indigenous workers find job placements in the ocean economy.
The Supercluster on Monday announced the launch of the Indigenous Career Pivot Project, an initiative that will cost more than $740,000, of which $550,000 is funded by the Ocean Supercluster.
The pilot project will allow about 10 mid-career Indigenous workers with skills or trades in other sectors a 12-month placement with small to medium-sized businesses in the ocean sector.
They will be supported by training curriculum
