FWS Commitment through the Four Pillars
At FWS, our commitment to Indigenous partnerships is built on respect, collaboration and mutual growth. We are proud to work together, creating opportunities that uplift and empower communities through our Four Pillars approach.
01
We’re dedicated to creating job opportunities and facilitating training programs for Indigenous community members. By partnering with local First Nations, we support the development of a skilled workforce through apprenticeships and career growth initiatives. Together, we ensure that individuals are equipped with the skills they need to thrive in the construction industry.
02
Through our Indigenous Business Department, we actively collaborate with First Nations enterprises, fostering economic development and entrepreneurship. By partnering with local businesses, we contribute to sustainable growth and support long-term success within the communities we serve.
03
We believe in sharing success. FWS engages with First Nations communities in profit-sharing initiatives, ensuring that economic benefits from projects are distributed fairly. Our goal is to foster financial independence and growth for Indigenous partners, driving lasting prosperity.
04
At FWS, corporate responsibility goes beyond business. We invest in the health, education, and well-being of Indigenous communities through our social programs. By giving back, we help create lasting social and economic impact, honouring our commitment to building strong, resilient communities.
Diversity in the Workforce: Your Path to Success
At FWS, we believe that a diverse workforce drives innovation and success. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to Indigenous peoples across all levels of our organization, from field positions to executive leadership. Your unique perspective and talents are valued at FWS, and we provide the support and pathways needed for career advancement.
