What We're About.
Student field trip, November 2011
Mission
Our mission is to provide training and education programs for Native women in the NWT.
Who Are We?
Our students are from across the N.W.T. and Nunavut. We welcome male and female, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal adults who are serious about improving their education and life skills. Past program graduates have went on to complete programming at Aurora College, the Mine Training Society and Academy of Learning.
Courses Offered
Our courses include Mathematics, English, computer studies, physical education, career and work experience as well as life skills and cultural workshops. Literacy is a major focus of our program. All courses are recognized by regional colleges and can lead to successful completion of grade 12 (GED) or ALBE course work. Our program runs 5 hours per day Monday to Friday, beginning in September and runs until June.
The Native Women’s Association training centre promotes healthy lifestyles, skills training and traditional cultural practices. Workshops and accredited courses include: career counseling, parenting, personal health, first-aid, photography, food preparation, driver’s education, WHMIS, and self-defence. The diversity and range of courses makes our program unique to Yellowknife and demonstrates our holistic approach to learning and educational growth.

Why Attend Here?
Our students enjoy the community feeling of our program and small class sizes. We make every effort to create a safe and welcoming classroom where all types of learners are included. We have been developing and delivering Adult Education classes in the NWT for 30 years. Our materials have been developed in the North for the North. Whether you are interested in work as a teacher, heavy equipment operator or cook’s helper, our program will help you gain the confidence and skills you need to be successful.
