Upcoming Wind Skills Training Program
Upcoming Wind Skills Training Program
In partnership with Maskwacis Cultural College and Pigeon Lake Health Centre, Iron & Earth is presenting our Community Wind Skills Training Program.
The course is scheduled to begin on November 14th and will run 7 to 9 days.
We are accepting applications from fossil fuel industry and Indigenous workers, as well as interested Community members, based in Maskwacis and the surrounding areas with an interest in learning the skills needed to participate in wind energy project design, installation, and maintenance.
There is no charge for the course which will include in-class learning at the Maskwacis Cultural College and the installation of a micro wind energy system at the Pigeon Lake Health Centre, providing participants with hands-on wind energy project installation experience.
The knowledge and experience provided by the Community Wind Skills Program will help program participants to find and pursue meaningful work along related career pathways.
Please read the full course description and complete the Intake Form when you are ready to apply.

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).
Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
