The Kitsumkalum Band is run-
ning an 11-month Native Public
Administration program at Kit-

sumkalum, with 17 full-time stu- —

dents currently enrolled. The pro-
gram, funded by the Canada Em-
ployment Centre and developed
by the Native Education Centre in
Vancouver, is fully accredited by
Vancouver Community College
and other post-secondary institu-
tions.

The’ program’s objective is to
train native students in various
business, financial and adminis-
trative disciplines so that upon
completion of the program, stu-
dents will be able to obtain jobs
at junior managerial or adminis-

trative levels.

It is comprised of 12 courses
including Introduction to Canadi-
an Business, Accounting, Busi-
ness Law, Native Legal Issues,
Effective Supervision, Inter-gov-
ernmental Relations and Commu-
nity Management Skills. In addi-
tion, the students will participate
in two four-week practicums to
give them the opportunity to use
their training in real work set-
tings, While most practicums will
be done locally, some students
may do their practicums in Van-
couver.

Tom Weegar, recently arrived
from Victoria with a background
in native self-government and
community-based development,

useful and relevant to native peo-
ple at this time because of the

growing movement toward abor-
iginal self-government. Native
communities need people with
administrative skills, who also
have an understanding of Canadi-
an business and the three levels of
Canadian government — federal,
provincial and municipal. The
Native Public Administration
program offers students skills and
knowledge that can either be
transferred into a non-native set-
ting, or used within native band
administrations. The students will
have many opportunities for
employment, and a clear idea of

personal career goals upon com-

pletion.

Weegar hopes to hire most
instructors locally, as an empha-
sis is placed on regional history
and issues throughout the train-
ing, and community involvement
is vital to the program’s success.

The Native Education Centre is -

presently running its‘ninth year or
Native Public Administration, but
Kitsumkalum is the first band to
offer the program on an outreach
basis. .
