Our primary focus is to foster tribal project development through feasibility studies, planning and community education. Our unique specialty is creating innovative projects designed for Indian Country.
Our Mission and Areas of Expertise
Our mission is to create opportunity while honoring Native culture with results that improve the quality of life for Native families. Native Workplace is a Native operated non- profit launched in 2000 with the objective to create tribal economic development and jobs. We focus on careers in vocational trades, providing project management, strategic workforce development and tribal planning.
COMMUNITY EDUCATION
Native Workplace has been dedicated to community education for more than 25 years.
feasibility studies give tribes a solid starting point before deciding an approach to economic development.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES
We provide full scope feasibility studies that provide crucial tribal specific product market research. This includes a variety of business options tribes could consider including non-cultivation projects such as supply chain and light assembly manufacturing.
We understand some tribes will never want to cultivate hemp or medical cannabis and there are other great opportunities to consider.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
In addition to community education and feasibility studies, we are also experienced in tribal planning, workforce development, federal contracting and grant writing.
