Antonietta Morgante-Bucik, Case Manager

I am a mom, entrepreneur, wife with 10+ years experience helping workers find or transition their careers. I am also the child of immigrants and a fossil fuel worker, who understands the challenges that marginalized individuals have finding meaningful work as well as how difficult it is to move from one industry to another.

My father, as a new immigrant, was given the opportunity to work in the fossil fuel industry as a labourer for 20 years. That job fed our family and kept a roof over our heads. As such I fully appreciate and understand the importance of these industries and feel a personal connection with anyone who has worked in fossil fuel.

I also have seen firsthand what happens when jobs dry up. The impact that job loss has on families, communities, and the impact that current or pending unemployment has on one's self worth. That is why I became a Career Counsellor/Facilitator and business owner. In these roles I was given the opportunity to assist hundreds of individuals of all backgrounds in their employment journey. I am a passionate and caring person; whose goal is to support all individuals in their personal journey. That goal drives me. That is why I am excited to be part of this team and to bring awareness of Iron and Earth’s vision and mission.

 

Iron & Earth is committed to partnering with Indigenous workers to empower their communities to become self-sufficient in training programs, clean energy transition projects, and employment opportunities to combat environmental racism. It falls to all of us to continue the work of healing and reconciliation in our communities and our organizations. Our relationship with the land and the people who live here shapes who we are. It is in the spirit of reconciliation and honouring the past that we recognize treaties and agreements wherever they are and wherever we work.

We also acknowledge all peoples who live, work, and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.
As individuals and teams we may make mistakes along the way, but we are dedicated to growth, openness, compassion, and forgiveness. These principles in our work are essential to building successful and healthy relationships with individuals, communities, organizations, and governments.

We look forward to building a path to lead us to a better relationship with Indigenous nations and the environment around us based on peace, friendship, and respect.
