The Training Institute
Empowering Native American Women to Create Sustainable & Fulfilling Careers
The Hozhonigo Institute understands the challenges faced by Native women, particularly those living on reservation lands, including limited access to opportunities, poor infrastructure, and lack of essential services. We aim to break these cycles of poverty and inequality by offering a lifeline to the virtual assistant industry.
Join us in revolutionizing the landscape for Native women in the workforce and make a lasting impact on generations to come. Together, we can pave the way for prosperity, equality, and empowerment.
