Saamis Aboriginal Employment and Training Association

I finished my upgrading with the Lethbridge College & ADLC to become an Electrician. When i finished my schooling i was looking for someone to help me get hired on with a good Electrical Company, so i went to Saamis Aboriginal Employment & Training Association. I met with Marilyn Iron Heart & Sheldon Blackwater. Both of these individuals helped me build a successful resume, which landed me a Apprenticeship with an Electrical Company within a week.Now I'm working as a full-time Commercial Electrician & I'm going for my first year in the fall.

Outstanding commitment! Above and beyond expectations. A solid group who has provided confidence in obtaining meaningful employment opportunities.

Saamis Aboriginal has been a fundamental support to the urban aboriginal community in the Lethbridge area for many years. They are readily available, easily accessible, and the staff goes out of their way to ensure that the client base is connected with supports needed whether it be employment or otherwise. I cannot thank this organization enough for supporting myself and our family to establish ourselves and ensure we connected with resources, and I strongly encourage others to utilize this valuable agency!

Great place for anyone. To help you plan both job and post secondary career paths. They truly care and try to help you. Give them respect and show them your willing to put in the work too. This place offers a great circle of support and encouragement.
