Allyson Schilkie, the Workforce Development Specialist at Sinneave Family Foundation, has a decade of experience in non-profit organizations and social service providers. Allyson is a certified psychosocial rehabilitation practitioner (CPRP) with a master’s level of education in behavioural sciences and psychosocial rehabilitation.
Allyson’s current role and responsibilities include supporting the expansion of EmploymentWorks across Canada, a program that supports Autistic adults through the employment lifecycle, as well as NEUROinclusive Workforce Solutions, which offers no-cost consultation services to mitigate barriers in the workplace with 6 Principles for practical neuroinclusive strategies.
In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.
This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.
We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.
As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
