Video Testimonials
"I believe by attending these prestigious events (Inclusion Works/Kocihta Leadership Skill Build), I wouldn't have had that inspiration and motivation in my heart and mind. I wouldn't be where I am today. An unforgettable experience. I truly believe that Aboriginal people can do "anything' they put their mind to."

"My experience was very positive and I continue to look back on what it brought to me. I am happy to say that I am doing what I love and I am getting a competitive salary for my field. It has been a journey that I would like to share with other Aboriginals on the same path. I am looking forward to being given a chance to share my story and offer any guidance (to Kocihta career candidates)."
