Serving the Nations
“... I have seen that in any great undertaking it is not enough for a man to depend simply upon himself.” Lone Man (Isna-la-wica) Teton Sioux
There are at least three vital elements that need to be in place for American Indians or Alaskan Native tribes, corporations or businesses if they are to succeed in getting the attention of Corporate America: prepared people, intelligent business processes and best-of-breed relevant technology.
To serve both U.S. businesses and the Indian Nations to more quickly match needs and skills, AIS has developed the ORCA (Outsource Readiness Capacity Assessment) program. ORCA is a systematic approach to help Alaskan Native and Native American communities assess their readiness to be successful using Internet access and local talent to secure sustainable work from both the Federal Government and major corporations.
In the ORCA Process, AIS staff will:
- Conduct initial readiness assessments and document the goals of the community
- Establish a community skills database to market to corporations
- Perform an educational needs analysis to develop a customized community learning program focused on “ready to hire” technology and interpersonal skills
- Oversee a local community volunteer mentor’s roster to facilitate local sharing of newly developed skills
- Extend workforce training in e-learning enablement and the application of tribal culture to web-based expression for their citizens of all ages
- Research 8(a) possibilities and applications appropriate for the tribe
- Deliver a series of workshops and planning sessions to determine the best practical scope and scale selected projects
- Become grounded in understanding the five key foundations for attracting jobs to the Tribe or Village
- Deliver a workable and coherent marketing and sales program
Beyond hands-on instruction for using the Internet and broadband technologies to achieve a worthwhile income while living in the villages, ORCA assures:
- The establishment of an effective global voice using multi-media to express Indian culture
- That social networks are built between villages through peer-to-peer sharing
- An environment which will build self-esteem and Native pride
- Ways to access unlimited educational opportunities
