Employment & Training

Barb Allan is the Lheidli T’enneh capacity development & training officer. Going above and beyond simply informing community members of new job postings, Barb’s role also includes educating clients on changing workforce requirements and maintaining important workplace partnerships with Lheidli. 

While there are often barriers to securing employment, sometimes the challenge to becoming employed is knowing what kind of job you want.  Barb can help with that too and is ready to assist clients in developing an action plan to determine what interests they might have, what jobs might appeal to them, and how to apply for them.

After graduating from high school, Barb attended the College of New Caledonia where she received a two-year business management diploma.  Interested in working for a First Nation organization in Prince George, Barb spent years working with PGNAETA before moving on to becoming employed by the Tribal Council.  By the time Barb applied for a position with Lheidli, the managers were already familiar with the work she had done and the contributions she had made towards First Nation communities in the north.  For the past six years, Barb has gladly continued to work for Lheidli in helping others gain meaningful employment.  She knows her hard work is worth it when she is able to add new success stories from past clients to her final reports.
