Nisga’a Ts’amiks Vancouver Society (NTVS) reached out to Tseax Development Group Ltd. to lead one day of training for senior management staff in the areas of effective communication and conflict resolution.

Tseax created a lesson plan for the day that gave best practice tips and advice in the areas of effective communication and how to implement the teachings into the conflict resolution setting.

This day was full of meaningful discussion which led to the final exercise of senior management role playing conflict scenarios, following their own organizational policy.

Tseax and Sodexo were successful this summer in hosting Sodexo TOPS training sessions in the following locations in Northwest, BC:

June 11th, 2024 New Aiyansh, BC Gitmidiik Auditorium

July 11, 2024 Terrace, BC Gitlax̱dax Nisga’a Terrace Society

September 11, 2024 Prince Rupert, BC Nisga’a Hall

Each participant committed to attending 1-full day of job readiness training, designed to strengthen on-the-job skills and resumes in preparation for future job postings within the camp services environment.

TOPS training focused on resume writing, customer service, and other specialized topics below:

Kitchen (TOPS): Personal hygiene, HACCP/Food Safety, Food allergens, Preparing & cooking, Cleaning & sanitizing, Receiving & storing

Housekeeping (TOPS): 7 step cleaning process
