The Manitoba Office of Rural and Northern Health has launched a website as a new tool to assist First Nation and Aboriginal people in the province in deciding on a career in health. Their Administrative Director Wayne Heide says it links a lot of information including everything from what careers are available out there and how do you get from where you are whatever your situation is to pursuing that career so there’s information about health careers, funding your education, where do you take the training and other things we don’t normally think about with career development like what if you don’t have a drivers license, how do you do criminal record checks and all the supporting information you need to get organized to do what you want to do.

The website can be found at www.ManitobaAboriginalHealthCareers.ca.
