Under the general direction of the Senior Director Housing Supports, the Indigenous Community Training and Development Specialist will work in collaboration/cooperation with homeless serving organizations, lived experts, Knowledge Keepers, Elders and through a Training Committee to co-create teachings/learnings that will support service providers in acquiring core competencies in their direct service and team leadership work. In recognition that Indigenous individuals/families in Winnipeg are overrepresented in experiencing homelessness, the training will provide service providers the opportunity to understand from a historic and current perspective, the impact that systemic racism, oppression and colonization has had on homelessness.

- Organize trainings i.e. book venues, oversee registration, maintain budgets, maintain training and curriculum records, create/monitor waitlists and guidelines for processes and platforms for the training documents, measure outcomes and implement post training surveys
- Work with community organizations, workers, and internal/external partners to assess training needs and implement training curriculum. This may include delivering training, and coordinating training opportunities for employees that work in emergency shelters, do street outreach, work in drop-in centres and provide case management
- Work with leaders and direct service workers to plan training, ensuring Knowledge Keepers/Elders are included in the input/development process
- Implement training that will motivate and increase employee skills to improve services for people at risk or experiencing homelessness
- Arrange/ensure training that supports service providers in understanding Indigenous homelessness and historical/current reasons for it
- Lead the Training Committee and participate in working groups to facilitate local training priorities and strategies
- Provide information and reports to management as well as updates to the Senior Director Housing Supports on community training issues, concerns and opportunities
