Brought to you by Lillooet Tribal Council (LTC) and St’át’imc Education Institute (SEI):
The Environmental Resources Technology program courses provide students with the skill set necessary for data collection work in the field. Students will also learn field skills such as tree and plant identification, navigation skills, mapping skills for use in the field and with geographic information systems, soils identification, resource measurements (distance, heights, slope, diameters, and elevation) and fire ecology. Since many students will work within BC First Nations traditional territories, courses in Ethno-science and Aboriginal case law are key to provide an understanding of the uniqueness and impact that First Nation people have on the land base. Upon completion of all the first year program courses, students earn an Environmental Resources Technician Certificate
This year LTC/SEI will offer the following seven courses in follow up to last year’s courses. We will be accepting in any interested new St’át’imc members, tuition free.
