about us

 The General Employment Program (GEP) is a vital initiative aligned with the Nation's resolution to fill 90 essential positions across various tribal departments. This program is committed to ensuring that each of the 60 hourly employees hired receives tailored training specific to their assigned roles, thereby enhancing their skills and productivity within the community. By addressing the training needs of our workforce, the GEP supports the Nation's broader goals of economic empowerment and sustainable development, contributing to the overall well-being of our tribal members and the effectiveness of our governmental operations. 

OFF-RESERVATION EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM 

This program has been discontinued.

 The College Employment Program is designed to support Jicarilla Tribal enrolled members by providing job placement and employment opportunities tailored to their needs. This program specifically aids college students by helping cover additional costs that may not be fully addressed by the JADE Higher Education Program's regular financial assistance. It is important to note that college students are ineligible to participate in the 060 Temporary Employment Program while they are in school, regardless of whether they receive Higher Education funding or are attending college at their own expense. The College Employment Program aims to bridge this gap, ensuring that students have the necessary resources to succeed academically and financially. 

 The Jicarilla Apache Nation Youth Employment Program is dedicated to empowering young tribal members by offering them valuable job opportunities within the Nation's departments or enterprises. This program is designed to guide and develop the job skills, work habits, and practical experience necessary for youth employees to secure future employment, whether within the Nation or in the broader job market. Additionally, the program provides an essential understanding of how the Nation's job market functions, equipping young participants with the knowledge and confidence to navigate their professional paths successfully. 

 The Post College Graduate Employment Program is designed to offer meaningful employment opportunities to Jicarilla Apache Nation tribal members who have earned a bachelor's degree or higher. This program aims to connect qualified graduates with positions that align with their education and skills, contributing to their professional growth and the development of the Nation. Due to limited availability, interested individuals are encouraged to call for more information and explore how this program can help them transition into fulfilling careers within the community.
