SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

Courses for Youth, Immigrants, Veterans, Indigenous Peoples, Women Entrepreneurs and Non Profits.

2021 PROGRAMS FOR SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS


KnowLand offers specially designed Courses that help upgrade the skills of Veterans, Indigenous peoples, Youth, Women Entrepreneurs, NFPs and Community Groups Administrators. We can customize workshops according to the needs of any group to suit their clients.

For Veterans

Soft skills Training / Personal branding / Employment skills upgrades / New skills

Recruiters, well-meaning relatives and just about anyone who encouraged you to join the service probably did so in part by mentioning at some point that your time serving your country would eventually help you to jumpstart a new career.

If you are retiring from the service, you might now be looking for ways to use that jumpstart you heard so much about. But after years of learning how to drive a tank or fire an artillery piece, you may be struggling to see how exactly you can go about translating your military skills to civilian employment.

For that we develop courses for Veterans to take advantage of the skills veterans already possess.

For Indigenous Peoples

Personal branding / Employment skills upgrades / New skills development

According to the Government of Canada, Indigenous Peoples have higher unemployment levels than non-Indigenous Canadians. What’s more, the Indigenous Peoples who are employed tend to make less money for the same job. That’s what the Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Program is trying to fix. For the first five years, the government of Canada plans to invest $2 billion in job training and skills development, all in the hope that free, easy-access education can close the pay gap and boost employment. After the first five years, the program promises $408.2 million in government funding per year for the same programs.

This new program is designed to replace the government’s Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy. It promises to help 15,000 more people across Canada. Plus, instead of focusing on finding a job quickly, the program plans to help people find higher-quality, better-paying jobs.
