Description

Our Mission is to provide a forum for members of the 17 Secwepemc Bands to discuss and learn more about the issues, news and events taking place in the Shuswap Nation; to promote awareness of Secwepemc language, culture and history; to recognize the individual accomplishments of community members; and to provide a vehicle for the outside community to learn more about the history, current affairs and future goals of the Secwepemc people.

Completion of three 8-week levels combined with 4500 workplace hours is required. (if you already have work experience in this field, you may apply to have your previous work hours credited). It is the responsibility of the apprentice to find his/her own work placement. Each apprentice must keep a record of their own hours worked and whom they worked for. This information must be reported to the Industry Training Authority(ITA) on a regular basis.

2. To provide each student with the opportunity to develop skills and attitudes which will enhance his/her ability to become an independent, contributing member of society.

The Secwepemc Cultural Education Society (SCES), a non-profit organization, was established in 1983. It is governed by a board of directors representing the Secwepemc communities. The Society's mandate is to develop curriculum materials and establish a centre that will collect, house, and preserve, Secwepemc historical, cultural, educational, and legal materials. Several departments have been created to fulfill this mandate including Education, Language, Publishing and Communications, Aboriginal Trades Training, and the Museum and Heritage Park.
