Career Planning Process

Seven Step Career Development Process based off of the NCDA's official Career Planning Process, to assist SCIT Tribal Members in entering and succeeding in the Tribal workforce. It is our goal to increase the number of successful Native American Employees within our Tribal Organizations.

Career Planning Process

The Career Development Process is an independent journey that involves developing and refining your goals. This journey unfolds throughout life as you gain skills, knowledge, and experiences. Although career development is not a linear process, it starts with recognizing a need for change, it involves learning about yourself, exploring your interests, narrowing your options, and finding a fitting occupation.

We are here to support and encourage your career journey efforts. We want you to find your inspiration, dream big for yourself, follow those dreams and grow with the Organization. Mnaajtoon Enaamdaman (Honor Your Dream/Vision)

Practice and Test your Typing Speed

Taking a typing speed test establishes your average typing speed (WPM) and accuracy, which is an important baseline to know so you can increase speed and improve accuracy with practice. Periodically taking typing speed tests can help you track your progress and measure improvement.

Career Self-Assessments

Find a career that matches your interests, interest assessments, career aptitude tests, and career quizzes can help you identify careers that meet your interests. Interest assessments usually ask you a series of questions about what you like and don't like to do. Then they match your likes and dislikes to careers. When you choose a career that matches your overall interests, you're more likely to enjoy your job. You're also more likely to be successful.

Career Aptitude Test

Tribal Member Rotation Program

Tribal Members will work in a supportive environment to gain experience and learn skills required to perform Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort line-level positions. The Tribal Member Rotation program will be developed within Soaring Eagle Gaming departments who can provide on-the-job experience to unite the goals and curriculum of the program. This program is intended for Tribal Members to gain knowledge and experience in each department for future employment opportunities. The Tribal Member will be rotated within different departments and jobs based on a schedule developed by Human Resources and the needs of the business. This position will not be eligible to accept tips. At the completion of this program, employees will receive a certificate that will provide the tribal member with minimum qualifications for any line-level position within Soaring Eagle Gaming

Youth Co-op

Tribal Youth enrolled in school in 11th or 12th grade will get exposure to meaningful work activities through on-the-job learning experiences which may lead to future career opportunities. Under the supervision of the Department Manager, serve as a staff person to the team that provides direct and indirect services to the community/clients/customers. Youth enrolled in school in 11th or 12th grade

Internships

The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan is proud to offer a number of educational and learning opportunities to interns. Interns are invited to play a role in SCIT’s operational and service delivery programs to encourage students to give back to their community. Here are some of the departments we have: Accounting, ACFS/Social Services, Education, Facilities, Medical, Dental, Assisted Living, Behavioral Health, IT, HR, Hospitality, Public Relation, Marketing, Ziibiwing, and many more. With a link to the internship packet online so they can print it? I have added this packet to this

Temporary Positions

Temporary Clerical Employees may be called to work with very little advanced notice. Temporary assignments can be anywhere from 1 day to 6 months in length. This depends on the need of the department where the temporary employee will be placed. We have a Temporary Clerical Pool and General Labor Pool. Clerical Pool is temporarily working in an office setting: working on computers, standard office equipment, and answering telephones (i.e. Administrative Assistant, File Clerk, Tutor…). General Labor Pool tasks are to assist staff in housekeeping, grounds work and general maintenance and repair of buildings. Must be able to meet background requirements of department placement, drug screens are required of positions that require Tribal Driver’s License.
