Portland, United States Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

CRITFC offers competitive compensation and an exceptional benefits package, including medical, dental, 401(k), 12 days of vacation (to start), 13 paid holidays, and paid sick time. We provide professional development opportunities, promote from within, and have a Native hiring preference as part of our commitment to our people. As a result, you will find a work environment that supports and inspires our shared goals of protecting the natural world and the tribal cultural connection to it.

Summary

The Columbia River Treaty tribes play a major role in salmon management and mitigation in the Pacific Northwest and provide benefits to all citizens of the Pacific Northwest. In combination, the natural resources departments of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC) and its member tribes dedicate approximately 600 professional and technical staff for natural resource programs and jobs. Yet, the region lacks the resources and focus to bring increasing numbers of skilled Native American employees into its fisheries programs.

Native American youth are greatly underrepresented among students of postsecondary education, especially in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects. Fewer than half of tribal youth in the Pacific and Northwestern regions of the United States graduate from high school. Although Native Americans make up 1.5% of the U.S. population, they account for only 0.7% of students graduating with bachelor’s degrees in science.

The Tribal Workforce Development Coordinator will be responsible for 1) building a robust and sustainable workforce program through education and training pathways for CRITFC tribal members to pursue and achieve STEM degrees in post-secondary educational programs at junior college, college, and graduate levels, 2) responsible for organizing, recruiting tribal youth and facilitating a week-long Salmon Camp each summer within the Columbia Basin, 3) developing qualitative and/or quantitative methods to measure the effectiveness of actions implemented, and 4) incorporating the four Columbia River Treaty Tribes Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) into presentations to the tribal students, education and training systems and the Salmon Camp coordination strategies.

Responsibilities

  • Coordinate efforts among member Tribes, federal, state, and local officials in identifying, planning, and implementing tribal workforce opportunities through specialized training and educational programs.
  • Organize, recruit tribal youth, and facilitate a week-long tribal Salmon Camp each summer within the Columbian Basin.
  • Develop partnering opportunities with education institutions.
  • Coordinate design of customized internships and placement at tribal organizations and federal and state agencies.
  • Develop informational documents (brochures, reports, handouts, videos, photographs, website, etc.) that reflect the four Columbia River Treaty Tribes TEK for public use that demonstrate tribal salmon restoration successes and issues surrounding education and workforce.
  • Conduct or coordinate external outreach activities at schools, festivals, and other public events.
  • Advocate for tribal salmon restoration successes by speaking at public venues, schools and conferences.
  • Establish metrics and indicators of success for STEM proficiency in tribal populations that will capture evaluation findings, recommendations, and conclusions.
  • Assist in research and writing of grant proposals to support the continuation of the program.

Qualifications

A bachelor’s degree in education, public administration, or related field and 2-5 years of experience working on workforce development or tribal education issues. The following requirements are highly desired:

  • Working experience and knowledge of learning styles of Native Americans and instructional strategies.
  • Understand the Columbia River Treaty Tribes history, culture and lifeways to share with communities, students, educational systems, and at Salmon Camp.
  • Knowledge of Columbia Plateau tribal culture, and Native American issues in general. Experience with natural resource management, especially Columbia Basin salmon issues.
  • Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, including experience with public speaking and outreach activities.
  • Experience organizing summer camps and working with youth.
  • Grant writing experience.
  • Publications development.
  • Experience developing natural and cultural resource curriculum for students.
  • Experience developing and implementing assessment methods of instructional program effectiveness.
  • Computer skills: Photoshop, Filemaker Pro, Excel, Microsoft Word and In-Design.
