This project will provide employment and skill building opportunities for young Inuit mothers and women. It involves two programs which will both provide employment skills and a pathway for greater financial independence. The skills they learn will provide tools to increase their income earning potential for their future, as well as their confidence. The employment training program will provide part-time employment at One Plane Away, while they develop new skills to work in the not-for-profit sector and increase potential for employment. With this experience, they will be able to experience first-hand how their efforts can support Nunavut mothers and babies. The Traditional Inuit Sewing project will be offered in three communities. Participants will be encouraged to form a collective and explore the opportunity of a social enterprise that could bring innovation at a community level.
