Network Partners
The Trades Warriors Network is a collaborative partnership. The concept and design of the Network emerged from the collective efforts of representatives from Treaty 6, 7 and 8; Aboriginal Students from Norquest and NAIT; faculty and staff from NAIT, Norquest, and Keyano College; Aboriginal leaders and friends of the project; the Director of Innovation Development from the Association of Alberta Colleges and Technical Institutes (AACTI); the principal and staff members from Amiskwaciy Academy; supervisors from Edmonton Public Schools' Skill Centre; and digital media and design experts from private industry.
Each partner contributed their unique knowledge and skill set to design the project. Additionally, each actor has agreed to offer their unique knowledge, skills, support, and/or resources to help further develop, direct, and sustain the project.
