Workforce Solutions. Partnerships. Practical Delivery.

From immediate recruitment needs to long-term workforce capacity, Kaskitew-Maskwa helps employers, Indigenous communities and delivery partners turn priorities into action.

Workforce Strategy & Planning

When project demand, future skills gaps or succession needs are unclear, we assess current and future workforce requirements with employers, identify recruitment priorities and map talent pipelines with training partners.

An engagement can produce a workforce assessment, skills-gap analysis, prioritized hiring needs and a phased workforce action plan.

  • Current and future workforce needs
  • Project demand and succession planning
  • Talent pipelines and training partner coordination

Recruitment & Executive Search

Employers need people now, whether for permanent roles, contract assignments, technical or specialized work, operational teams or leadership positions. KM supports recruitment of Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals, including executive search and recruitment process outsourcing where suitable.

We define roles, source and screen candidates, coordinate selection and support placement. Practical outputs can include role profiles, candidate shortlists, interview coordination and a hiring plan.

  • Permanent and contract recruitment
  • Technical, operational and specialized hiring
  • Leadership recruitment and executive search

Indigenous Workforce Pathways

Indigenous career pathways work best when community priorities, training opportunities and actual employer demand are considered together. KM can engage communities, coordinate employers and training providers, design and deliver government-funded workforce programs, and support participants toward employment and retention.

Possible outputs include employer-informed pathway plans, training partner coordination, career awareness activities and participant support plans. Indigenous Aviation Pathways is Government of Alberta-approved and launched on October 19, 2026. Program delivery is underway.

  • Community engagement and employer-informed program design
  • Training and delivery partner coordination
  • Participant employment and retention support

Indigenous Participation & Supplier Diversity

Participation commitments need an implementable plan, not just a statement of intent. KM supports Indigenous Participation Plan (IPP) development and implementation, supplier readiness, supplier diversity and social procurement activity.

For Industrial and Technological Benefits (ITB)-related work, we can help plan and coordinate workforce and partnership activities, document progress and support delivery. Outputs may include an IPP work plan, supplier readiness priorities, activity records and coordination steps. KM does not determine ITB credit eligibility or guarantee government acceptance.

  • IPP planning and implementation support
  • Supplier diversity and social procurement
  • ITB-related workforce and partnership coordination

Community–Industry Partnerships

Shared opportunities require more than introductions. KM supports employer and community relationship development, education partnerships and the identification and coordination of collaborative initiatives.

Partners can agree objectives, responsibilities, delivery steps and follow-through, producing a practical partnership plan or coordinated initiative. Participating Indigenous Nations and organizations retain their own authority and priorities; KM does not speak for them.

  • Community and employer relationship development
  • Education and training partnerships
  • Shared opportunity scoping and delivery coordination
