Our Mission

Who We Serve
The Division provides funding and support to Tribal programs for the purpose of assisting tribal members with developing occupational and literacy skills. Aligned to individual Tribal goals and values, these programs help individuals become more competitive in the workforce while promoting economic and social development.
Working through our regional local agencies, the Division also provides support and technical assistance to employees. By encouraging and supporting the development of employees, the Division supports the Bureau's overall goals to build workforce capacity, technical expertise, and career development.
