**About Keepers of the Circle**

Keepers of the Circle is an Indigenous Hub operated by the Temiskaming Native Women’s Support Group (TNWSG), a non-profit organization founded in 1997 to promote the economic, cultural, and social equity of Indigenous women. The TNWSG was also mandated to establish culturally based programs and services to for Indigenous women and their families in the District of Temiskaming. In 2018, the mandate extended across the province with our appointment as the Ontario representative for the Native Women’s Association of Canada. Keepers of the Circle (KOTC) programming is focused on the restoration and retention of Indigenous languages and Indigenous Traditional Knowledge; economic security and self-determination; and creating culturally safe spaces for Indigenous women and families.

**About the Role**

Keepers of the Circle is looking to recruit Partnership Liaisons to engage and develop partnerships with communities, industry partners, and other organizations across Ontario and nationally within a diversity of sector including, but not limited to: mining, construction, renewable energy, community support care, and healthcare. The role of the Partnership Liaison is to create these partnerships to support Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people who have completed our _Culture, Confidence, and Competence (CCC) _pre-employment training program to obtain sector-specific work placements that are aligned with their personal and professional goals.

All members who complete the program will develop a training plan that will identify their post-training goals. The Partnership Liaison will be responsible for identifying employment or work placement opportunities for members that support their individualized goals and training plans through newly established or existing industry/community partnerships. As Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people face various barriers and challenges in the workplace, the Partnership Liaison will be focused on ensuring that industry partners and employers provide culturally safe work environments for our members.
