Vocational Academy

The Institute will be planned at the outset as a Vocational academy that will prepare resident students and staff for skilled employment in the region. The Board of Directors will provide for recruitment of qualified veterans and native heritage personnel for supervision and training of new faculty and student leadership. As individuals and families, military veterans and Native Americans are frequently underserved in communities for education and health care services.

The Institute will prepare counselling and guidance in combined work and study components for all resident students, related to their major vocational course of study. All participating Indigenous Nations that provide students or faculty and funding, will be encouraged to join a sponsoring affiliation.
