Education and Employment
The Education and Employment department offers five programs. The College Assistance Program funds Tribal member studies at either two year or four year institutions of higher education in any chosen field. The Adult Vocational Training Program funds training for Tribal members within the service area in any vocation or profession leading to a license or certification. The Adult Basic Education Program provides Tribal members within the service area with short term, self improvement funding for classes of interest, including the GED. The Johnson-O'Malley Act Program provides supplemental education for any self-identified Native American attending public schools, in grades pre-kindergarden to the 12th grade. The Direct Employment Assistance Program is geared to help those Tribal members within the service area who are unemployed or underemployed by providing equipment, accessories, or relocation assistance. The Education and Employment Department's goals are full employment in the highest paying jobs attainable for Tribal members, and to offer educational opportunities for all Tribal members.
