Snowday Today in NEW! Tsi?Nahe Yotaklohkw^ (While It's Snowing...)

NEW-TRG is thinking ahead for the NEW Community. A Python Intro Course to do together in the Summer of 2024 is the next big event to prepare for!

Some things that you may not know about computers or computer programming is the language base to communicate with interfaces, Operating System (OS) [like Windows, Mac] browsers and platforms of many kinds these days (Software as a Platform, Infrastructure as a Platform, etc.) do this with programming languages. 

One of the highly competitive programming languages, highly desired, for ability to work with multiple other programming languages is Python! During job searches, I found this highly desireable in South America. If we know anything about our history and wanting to make a direct impact based on experience to help others be successful in culture repatriation, and feel a calling for indigenous assistance, then programming may be your best bet at providing assistance in the proper circles to navigate political scenes and tribal leader fundings that may not know to request this profession. Having a Native background will help with relating to their needs and joining NEW-TRG is requesting to be part of this journey!

Think about your future, how you want to do your small part within a chaotic pull of what you want to do in your professional career and stick to something that is going to be needed and constantly changing! 

Other news...

April 17 and April 24, 2024 will be the last physical in-person meetings for NEW-TRG until we have a good group going that want to participate weekly. NEW-TRG will continue to host events, webinars, training sessions, and intro courses to sign up for to be held at Oneida CEC on Packerland.

The NEW-TRG blog will still be available weekly, new posts and updates on websites, native-owned businesses, seeking out local articles on their IT development and usage, interviews, and more! 

If you are interested in the Intro to Python course - sign up with your email and a brief message of interest to NEW.TechnicalResourceGroup@Gmail.com! This is still in planning, but taking interested people as a first come first serve basis is encouraged. It will need to get approved with Oneida CEC and their course listings to post for the local Native community, there may be a small fee, that we can cover together. We will be one working body with this Intro to Python (cost effective and teamwork in developing the interest with the IT Field) - so no individual certificates! It is encouraged to join for the experience, the knowledge, the opinions that will form and a major plus in building more interest to pursue an IT Career!

I can guarantee that if you go into any IT Field, it will serve great benefits to survive your first couple of semesters (especially if there is programming languages involved)!
