Keepers of the Circle connects Indigenous women and gender-diverse people with employers and Unions in the skilled trades. We bridge the gap between apprentices and employers, offering guidance, training, and wraparound supports that lead directly into meaningful work placements.
Our approach combines skills training, personal growth, and cultural support to create meaningful pathways to employment. Guided by Indigenous knowledge and community care, we can help build strong, inclusive workplaces where everyone can succeed.
Employers and contractors considering a new apprentice are encouraged to connect with us. Current apprentices looking for support, and those wanting to explore apprenticeship opportunities are encouraged to complete our interest form and someone will be in touch to follow up.
If you’re an Indigenous woman or Two-Spirit person interested in building a future in the skilled trades, this opportunity is for you. Keepers of the Circle provides training, mentorship, and support every step of the way!
Partner with us to strengthen your workforce and support Indigenous women in skilled trades. Keepers of the Circle provides hands-on support to help you recruit, mentor, and retain apprentices.
