We demonstrate leadership in building quality relationships with Indigenous peoples as we honour and strive to understand Indigenous experiences, histories, and culture. Our Indigenous Relations Working Committee (IRWC), led by our Indigenous Relations Manager, is a cross-representative group of internal team members that develop proactive plans, practices, and policies to establish Clark Builders as a recognized leader in corporate performance for Indigenous relations.
The Indigenous Employee Resource Group (IERG) is made up of a group of employees at Clark Builders who identify as Indigenous or are passionate about Indigenous culture. Our purpose is to create a safe and inclusive space for Indigenous employees and allies to connect, network, and support each other in the workplace.
As part of Clark Builders’ hiring practices, we have developed an Apprenticeship and Employment Opportunity Coaching Program (AEOCP) that can be presented to various local organizations supporting under-represented groups.
The AEOCP often includes an introduction to apprenticeship opportunities at Clark Builders and our subcontractors, an overview of the application process and program requirements, along with a resume and interview techniques coaching or workshop session. AEOCP is a process that can be tailored to the specific opportunities available on a given project and to the specific audience based on input from local organizations or community leaders.
