Indigenous Partnerships:
Fostering Collaboration for Growth
Embodying a commitment to inclusivity, Control Tech stands proudly as a company that is 10% Aboriginal and fully embraces its role as a 33% Aboriginal-owned enterprise. This strong foundation underscores our authenticity in cultivating relationships that matter deeply.
Our Indigenous Relations and Partnerships strategy is rooted in three pivotal goals. These goals harmonize with our core values, propelling us towards a shared objective—cultivating a collaborative relationship. This alliance strives to enhance education, training, and economic prospects specifically for Metis Nation of Alberta citizens in Grande Prairie and its surrounding areas.
Respecting Histories, Cultures, and Values
Our approach to Indigenous Relations transcends conventional norms. Whether it’s recruiting Indigenous talents, supporting career growth, or collaborating with Indigenous communities and businesses, we prioritize understanding the rich histories, diverse cultures, and enduring values of Indigenous Peoples.
Foundations of Success: Respect, Common Goals, and Local Understanding
Successful Indigenous Partnerships rest on a bedrock of mutual respect, alignment of goals, employment opportunities, and a profound understanding of the local community. We aim to share not just opportunities but also the spirit of collaboration, offering scholarships for the educational advancement of Metis Nation of Alberta citizens.
