- good minds and thoughts, the consideration for future generations, respect, accountability, responsibility, creativity, effectiveness, efficiency and life-long learning are some of the values that are reflected from our culture and nations philosophy.

It is recognized by the GREAT Board and staff that all people in our community play an important role in defining our nation’s strength and well being and may find it necessary to seek assistance in determining their role in the community as it pertains to employment and/or training. With this understanding, GREAT is able to look ahead to the future of our nation, and assist with the development of skills through the provision of required standardized / recognized training and technology. The incorporation and support of traditional ideals within the skills training will enable the people of Six Nations of the Grand River Territory to compete in today’s labour market while retaining our Haudenosaunee identity.

Throughout the last 10 years, Grand River Employment And Training has been supportive of several initiatives that not only reflect our traditional culture but also the retention of our Haudenosaunee identity. From language programs to local artist development, GREAT continues to support initiatives that increase the understanding and knowledge of our distinct society.
