Standard First Aid Level “C” W/AEDThe Camp Life Training Program is based on the medicine wheel teaching. It is delivered in a wholistic approach meant to address the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of the student. A significant outcome of an employment readiness (pre-employment skills training) program is to develop a worker who is “Emotionally” balanced and therefore, better prepared to respond to the demands of his/her work environment.

Personal Self Growth

Workplace success is often inhibited by the behaviors associated with many factors and in fact, what may be happening are two world views colliding and creating misunderstanding.  A significant amount of work throughout the thirteen week program will focus students on addressing strategies for dealing with unresolved lifestyle issues.

Academic Instruction

The academic curriculum relates directly to job literacy, mathematics, sciences, computer basics with the intent and ability to challenge the trades’ entrance exam. Emphasis is placed on work ethics and etiquette, exploring career goals resolving workplace conflict and creating a realistic view regarding financial obligations.

Cultural Components

Ceremony is the way of our people, everything we do relates to our relationship with life. Here at UnBQ we aspire to integrate ceremonies in every aspect of our program. We often host visiting Elders who share the wisdom, teachings, directions and facilitations of ceremonies. Our morning celebrations at camp involve a smudging ceremony and prayer to begin our day.
