6th Annual Career Day - May 9, 1996
at P.A.I.S.E.C. Gym - 851-23rd Street West, 9:30am-4:00pm.
The Interprovincial Association on Native Employment (IANE) was formed in May 1976, and officially incorporated August 29th 1977. Two Saskatchewan people, the late Ivan Ahenakew and a current member, Bill Hanson - were instrumental in founding the Association. IANE is a non-profit, non-political support group concerned with native employment issues. As a communication and information sharing network, IANE has increased awareness of the employment aspirations and capabilities of Native people throughout Canada.
Membership in IANE is open to interested people from business, industry, unions, government and native communities in every province. A quarterly newsletter highlights programs and achievements of First Nations groups or individuals, and members can get together at the Twentieth Annual IANE Conference in Winnipeg next June.
In Saskatchewan, there are IANE chapters in La Ronge, Saskatoon and Prince Albert with the National Office in Saskatoon. The objectives of the Association are: to provide advice, direction and assistance to First Nations people regarding employment; to work with companies and organizations that assist or employ native ancestry people; to provide and exchange information about government, industry and labour union policies and programs; to share information on successful native education, training and employment programs, and to encourage the development of new programs.
Our local IANE chapter, Treeline Association, will be holding its Sixth Annual IANE Career Symposium at the Prince Albert Indian Student Education Centre Gymnasium on Thursday May 9th. The Career Symposium is open to native and non-native students, teachers and the general public from 9:30am to 4:00pm. More than fifty display booths from private business, industry, crown corporations, government departments, educational institutions, professional associations, native organizations and non-government agencies will provide education and career planning information. Students will be given a map with questions pertaining to specific displays that will encourage them to visit the booths and ask questions. As an added bonus, students can enter their completed questionnaires in a draw for a walkman. Booths with hands on equipment displays are also popular attractions at the Symposium and the canteen is busy serving refreshments all day.
During the Symposium, some students will also be honoured with bursaries and awards. The Royal Bank, Prince Albert, will be awarding two bursaries of $100 each to native ancestry high school students, and the IANE Bill Hanson Award will be given to a native ancestry post-secondary or ABE student. The students, nominated for these awards by their school or institution, will have overcome personal difficulties to achieve academic proficiency, will have demonstrated leadership skills and will have actively participated in community service.
If you want to know more about IANE or about the Career Symposium, call Treeline President Frank Brooks at 953-2632, or Roberta Burns at 764-3431.
