SPSCC is working to attract and help educate more members of our tribal neighbors for careers in natural resources, computer science, and additional fields of interest. We are using funding we secured from NOAA through the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to hire a Tribal Transition Specialist to help students persevere so they can go straight to work for a tribal government or enterprise (and/or pursue advanced education).

Over the next few years we want to integrate traditional ecological knowledge into several math and science courses that are required for all students, not just tribal students. We will need your help identifying knowledge keepers who can inform our efforts.
