Technology Council News
In response to COVID 19 and the impact to our communities during increased employment instability, the First Nations Technology Council is working to create more access to new job opportunities for our community members! To do this, we are providing employers with 6 months of free posting on the First Nations in BC Knowledge Network’s job board, an important information resource for Indigenous peoples throughout BC. We will also share select opportunities through our social media channels and newsletter.
Interested in posting jobs for your organization? Reach us here.
If you are a job seeker, be sure to keep your eye on our job board for your next exciting role!
