EMPOWERING NEW VOICES

We aim to empower our future generations with the knowledge and skills to uphold the legacy of the Cowichan Tribes. Through direct support, economic and training initiatives, meaningful employment opportunities, and by honouring our cultural heritage, KDC strives to nurture our communities by enhancing the wellbeing of our youth.

LEARN, GROW

We aim to empower our youth with practical skills and valuable training programs to prepare them for entry into the workforce, creating meaningful educational opportunities to help support families within our Indigenous communities.

THE “PLAY” PROGRAM

Allteck is proud to be an implementing partner for the “PLAY” program. The Promoting Life-skills in Aboriginal Youth (PLAY) program partners with more than 85 First Nations communities and urban Aboriginal organizations across Canada to deliver safe, fun and educational programming for Aboriginal children and youth.

Allteck has partnered with the Thompson Rivers University to prepare students for a career in power line maintenance and operations by providing both classroom and hands-on training. With the assistance of the Allteck Power Bursary Fund, Allteck is proud to have enrolled candidates from Indigenous communities across BC.
