First Nations Technology Council Advancing digital skills, connectivity, and technology strategy for First Nations across British Columbia, mandated by the First Nations Leadership Council.

Over the past 13 years, the Technology Council has worked in partnership with over 150 of BC's First Nations communities to deliver onsite technology related training. Through this experience we have gained critical insight into the need for improved connectivity, a sustainable approach to infrastructure and an ongoing need to build up digital skills capacity. Vision: Leading the Advancement of Digital Technologies in First Nations Communities

Mission: The First Nations Technology Council has a dual mission that reflects a commitment to social enterprise business. Services Mission: The First Nations Technology Council is a central convener between government, industry, academia and First Nations communities to ensure comprehensive, sustainable and appropriate technology based programs and services are developed and funded. Enterprise Mission: The First Nations Technology Council provides direct technology related services through fee for service and earned income programs that create less reliance on government funded programs and grants, while continuing to advance the use of digital technologies in First Nations communities.

The FNTC Mentorship Series is a virtual space for students, interns, graduates, and community members to connect, learn from othersโ€™ career experiences, build professional skills, and have meaningful conversations about work and career growth.

Corryn Bamber is the founder of TWA Studio and the Queen of SEO in the Okanagan (itโ€™s literally on her nametag!). She started her career in 2016 as a mural and commission artist before shifting her focus to TWA Studio in 2019. Since then, she has helped small businesses across the Okanagan build websites, develop their brands, and improve their online visibility.

Today, her studio helps local businesses get found on Google, recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, and connected with real customers. Seven years and 86 websites later, Corryn continues to work directly with clients, lead hands-on workshops, and support the local business community.

During our October 14 session, Corryn will share her journey from mural artist to tech entrepreneur and explore practical ways to build your own online presence. Topics will include personal branding, LinkedIn and portfolio basics, how Google and AI tools decide who to recommend, and a simple checklist to help you get found online.
