One of the main goals of NAVF Carbon is to promote tribal economic development and enabling jobs for Native Americans. Therefore, we can declare that we are committed preference in employment to American Indians and Alaska Natives who are enrolled in a federally recognized tribe as defined by the Secretary of the Interior, under Public Law 94-437, the “Indian Health Care Improvement Act” (IHCIA). As a crucial part of any tribal project that NAVF Carbon is engaged, we commit to employing the members of the engaged tribe first, then outside tribal members for all positions in the project development whenever it can identify that the tribal members with the required skills and educational background. Our obligation to protect the health, safety and welfare of tribal workers as well as non-discrimination in employment are significant elements of our project approach. At NAVF Carbon, we believe that knowledge exchange and spread are crucial to building a sustainable ground for self-sufficient development.
Besides, NAVF Carbon invests heavily in vocational training and paid student internships to work with our carbon development experts on the field audit teams that will be deployed to perform timber inventory and in all other stages of the project.
NAVF Carbon will provide the ability for the members of the tribes by which we are engaged to obtain critical skills concerning developing a timber inventory and in the continued long-term project management. For NAVF Carbon, this is part of a longer-term commitment with our partnered tribes and with Native America. Therefore the promise to building a real ecological impact, sustainable, and self-sufficient economy is the core of NAVF Carbon’s culture.
NAVF Carbon’s goal is to interact provide the train, tools, and capitalization to empower the tribe’s workforce, who wants to pursue a career in forestry.
