First Nations Public Service Secretariat (FNPSS)

Description

FNPSS' Management Training Academies (MTA) aim to help participants return to their organizations with capacity-enhancing strategies they can implement immediately. During the Human Resources MTA, participants will build an understanding of strategic HR planning which reinforces the current and future direction of their organization. Participants will also learn about recruitment and selection, plan monitoring, managing relationships, performance management, evaluation and more. There will be an opportunity to engage in discussion on various HR topics and issues.

Who Should Attend?

BC First Nations: Band Administrators, HR Managers, or other Management Staff, as well as First Nations youth who are interested in working in the areas of administration and human resources. Please note, as this the first in-person MTA since 2019, spaces are expected to fill up quickly!
