Aboriginal Youth Energy Employment Survey - For Aboriginal Youth

Aboriginal Youth & Clean Energy Employment Survey

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WORKING IN CLEAN ENERGY? DO YOU SEE YOURSELF EMPLOYED IN THE CLEAN ENERGY INDUSTRY?

WE WANT TO FIND OUT!

Please help us by filling out the following survey. It will only take a few minutes of your time. The information will be used by the First Nations Energy & Mining Council to develop a strategic plan for assisting Aboriginal youth to pursue and attain education, training, & employment in the growing Clean Energy Sector.

Clean Energy is rapidly growing in BC and includes technologies such as wind turbines, solar panels, micro-hydro (run of river projects), bio-fuels, and energy efficiency. There will be many exciting job opportunities and Aboriginal youth will have the opportunity to lead the way.

Your completed survey will be entered into a draw for a prize.
