Hello! I'm JP
I am a Mi'kmaq First Nation and I've graduated from couple of NSCC College programs and a couple We'koqma'q community programs. I know that I'm a differently-abled employee who have worked with We'koqma'q One Stop (AKA Rod's One Stop) for a year and 10 months. Because of Covid-19, I was laid off and hopefully that I can get a job. I am a dedicated and competent employee and I have been living in We'koqma'q community for a fifteen years.
In that I have graduated from NSCC Adult Learning Program and I got my upgrade academically. I know that I'm a dedicated and studious student and I have been in Graduate Studies in my ALP (Adult Learning Program). I also got my NSCC Construction Trades Labour, Certificate of Accomplishment credential and my Adult High School diploma.
​
Now I am accepted into Cape Breton University and I know that I will do well. I feel that motivated and determined to develop and I know that I'll be studious and focused. I am also certified by Unama'ki Driving School and I have my Beginner's license.
​
I know that I am a hard worker and I have a lot of experience in plenty of odd jobs and home projects with my home cultural community. I have a lot of work terms experience, job shadowing and volunteer work.
