You are cordially invited to participate in Igniting the Power Within’s (ITPW) National Conference & Graduation, October 25, 26 and 27th.

Learn as We Share Our Story

Portfolio development that incorporates the 9 Essential Skills (ES) has become a major resource throughout Manitoba for Aboriginal communities with a vision of education, training and employment. So much so that communities across Canada have asked for the same training. To honour the journey we’ve taken with Manitoba’s community members, ITPW is holding a National Conference so that we can share this story with community members from across Canada.

You’ll leave this two-day event knowing more about our concepts, our processes and methods and – most important – how your community can adapt them to your specific needs. Through the stories of ITPW Steering Committee members and the community members who were trained, you’ll gain a better understanding of ITPW’s adaptation, implementation and sustainability.

It’s Graduation Time

Everyone who has completed all four Levels of ITPW workshops has made it through the ITPW Certification journey, and we think you’re entitled to a graduation celebration. Join us and your fellow graduates on October 26th in Winnipeg as we host the Igniting the Power Within graduation ceremony.  Please call for details.

Join us in a journey that will ignite your skills

We all have knowledge, skills and gifts that help us along in our journey.

But if we don’t know how to identify these qualities— or don’t see their value— It’s much harder to reach our employment and training goals.

Igniting the Power Within is a four-level series of certification workshops on Essential Skills and Recognizing Prior Learning (RPL).This training is aimed at Employment-related Coordinators, Training and Employment Counselors and Outreach Workers.

Each workshop will give you powerful tools for helping clients to identify and document their skills, knowledge and gifts as well as the steps they can take towards their goals.

First Nations, Métis and educational organizations have all worked together to create these workshops to meet the needs of Aboriginal communities.

Training includes lots of “learning by doing”. Honouring the oral tradition, workshops use drama performances, role-playing and hands-on activities.

This will give you a deep understanding of the material.

You can then pass this learning on to others.

Training subsidies available to those who qualify.
