One of the key objectives of the Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) is to encourage academic and skills development and enable citizens of the Métis Nation to attain their educational aspirations. In pursuit of this goal, the MNO began offering training initiatives in 1996 with funding from the Métis Human Resource Development Agreement. Since that time, the MNO has built a comprehensive infrastructure to deliver employment and training opportunities to qualified Métis candidates. Critical to the development of this high quality programming is partnerships with businesses and organizations to offer real world experience on the job. There are many benefits to employers in engaging the services of the MNO branch offices - in hiring their qualified candidates, your business may be eligible for wage subsidies; you can access candidates trained specifically for your work site; and you can encourage a richer, more diverse and inclusive workforce. Join us on April 6, 2021 at 1:00 pm as the Barrie office of the Métis Nation of Ontario talks about how your business can get connected to this program and start accessing these resources.

Many business owners have questions about best practices in creating an inclusive work space, managing diverse teams, how to address inequality issues, where to start, what this means to their business and services/supports available. ?Effective communication in the workplace is imperative in a leadership role. When you communicate with your team, it helps eliminate misunderstandings and can encourage a healthy and positive work environment. Efficient and open communication between the team will also help work flow move more smoothly. Join us while the experts share practical and insightful tools, together we can build a stronger local business community.
Over the past year, businesses of all types and sizes have converted to working remotely. The sudden, large-scale shift to a remote workforce has meant leading and managing in new ways. With this switch, and the other factors at play because of Covid, many employees are now finding that their personal and professional lives are overlapping more than before. This is particularly challenging for those employees with dependents who are now suddenly present in their workspace. Our experts will speak about best practices for employees with dependents, how to maintain balance while working at home with kids, and strategies for managing family dynamics. They will also discuss the services and supports that are available to help.
