Success Stories
-
Mark MacDonald - Scotia Bank Financial Advisor
March 4, 2016
While I have always had a lot of interest in finances and investing, I never pursued a career in finance. This is mostly because I did not feel I had the training required; my education is in a completely different field.

Shannon Beaumont - Career Counselling
January 22, 2016
I was stuck in a job, which was causing me mental and physical illness. Although the benefits were great I was incredibly unhappy. The Manitoba Métis Federation – Employment and Training department helped me rework my resume to highlight the skills I already possess and taught me the importance of a cover letter.

Amanda Desjarlais - Accounts Receivable Administrator
April 16, 2015
I went to MMF for employment support as I was in looking for a job change. I talked over the phone with one of the training counselor's and had a meeting set up to meet her face to face within that week. At this meeting she listened to what it was that I was looking for and helped me draft up a professional resume and cover letter. She was my one on one training counselor from that day until I found new employment.

Tim Kardal - Class 1 Driver Training Program
March 20, 2015
I am now enjoying working more and I am thankful the opportunity to gain a class 1 license. I am grateful for the support from the Manitoba Metis Federation and I don’t think I would be as successful today without the help of MET Recruitment. I took the course and training very seriously and I made it an obligation to attend the course without an absence. Professional Transport put on a great course and the instructors were very professional and knowledgeable about the industry.

Aron Perrie - Class 1 Driver Training Program
December 20, 2014
In the beginning of November of 2014 I approached MET in regards to the Class 1 Professional Driving Training Program.

It was a quick process from attending the information session, meeting with the MET representatives and then receiving the invitation to attend the training with Professional Driver Training School.
