Kâskitêw-Maskwa Consulting services

---

Kaskitew-Maskwa is a 100% Indigenous-owned workforce strategy and recruitment firm supporting prime contractors, defence organizations, and major project developers in delivering Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB), Indigenous participation, and full workforce execution requirements.

We go beyond advisory and recruitment — we act as a delivery partner, enabling organizations to translate commitments into measurable, reportable outcomes aligned with contract obligations.

We provide integrated workforce solutions that support both ITB compliance and operational execution, including:

• Indigenous workforce recruitment and placement across all levels (Trades to Executive).
• Indigenous participation strategy aligned with ITB and procurement requirements 
• Community-connected talent pipeline development with Nations, Bands, and Indigenous organizations 
• Workforce development programs where talent pipelines do not yet exist 
• Full-spectrum recruitment (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) to ensure project delivery 
• Long-term workforce planning aligned with multi-year contracts and programs 

Our services are structured to directly support ITB Value Proposition commitments, including:

Indigenous Participation

• Enabling sustained, measurable Indigenous workforce engagement 
• Supporting contractor commitments to reconciliation and inclusion 

Skills Development & Workforce Capacity

• Building new talent pipelines through community partnerships 
• Supporting long-term workforce capability in priority sectors 

Supplier Development

• Acting as an Indigenous-owned delivery partner within the supply chain 
• Contributing to SME and Indigenous business participation targets 

Long-Term Capability Building

• Moving beyond project-based hiring to continuous workforce development 
• Supporting sustained ITB performance across contract lifecycles 

We enable organizations to track and report ITB-relevant outcomes, including:

• Indigenous hires and workforce participation rates 
• Retention and progression metrics 
• Community engagement and partnership activity 
• Workforce development and training outcomes 

Our approach ensures all activities are structured, traceable, and aligned with ITB reporting requirements.

Kaskitew-Maskwa uniquely delivers across three critical areas:

ITB & Indigenous Participation Compliance

• We provide a credible, execution-focused solution that strengthens Value Proposition scoring and reduces delivery risk.

Full Workforce Delivery

• We ensure all roles are filled — enabling projects to succeed operationally while meeting participation targets.

Continuous Impact Model

We support ongoing workforce activity beyond individual projects, allowing clients to:

• Maintain consistent ITB performance 
• Avoid gaps in participation metrics 
• Build scalable, long-term workforce pipelines 

• 100% Indigenous-owned and community-connected 
• Establishing trusted relationships with Nations, Bands, and Indigenous initiatives 
• Proven ability to align workforce strategy with project execution 
• Experience across Defence, Infrastructure, Energy, Engineering, and Technology sectors 
• Capability to deliver both Indigenous participation and total workforce solutions 

Kaskitew-Maskwa is not a traditional recruitment firm.

We are a workforce and Indigenous participation delivery partner, enabling organizations to meet ITB obligations while ensuring successful project execution.
