Career Support for First Nations, Métis

Are you interested in a career with Interior Health but would like some extra support along the way?

** Please note: This is not a job posting**.

By submitting your information, you are applying to the Indigenous Career Support Program. This program provides one-on-one coaching, career readiness support, and resources for individuals who voluntarily self-identify as First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit and who are interested in pursuing opportunities with Interior Health.

This program reflects our commitment to building a workforce that honours Truth and Reconciliation, the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA), and our responsibility to provide culturally safe care and services.

Voluntary self-identification ensures the program is offered to the audience it is intended to support.

How We Can Help:

• Career exploration & job search guidance
• Resume & Cover Letter support
• Application process support
• Understanding education and certification requirements
• Interview coaching (including mock interviews)
• And more
