About Five Skies
After several years working with Tribes and in tribal communities, we found that there were frequently consistently low retention rates for members. Seeing that this was a prevalent issue, Nick began to work on developing their Empowerment Training program to improve outcomes beyond just a basic workforce readiness training.
As the training evolved, Nick was able to bring Nyree Kedrowski on board and the final pieces of the programming were solidified. Together, Nick and Nyree started Five Skies Training and Consulting, LLC in 2018 and began providing this programming as their sole focus.
Five Skies is a Certified DBE in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

LEARN MOREFive Skies Forest
In our trainings, we talk about a Healing Forest. That is why we named our online community the Five Skies Forest. The forest is a place for Training Applicants/Participants, Empowerment Graduates and members of underserved communities such as Women, Veterans and Minorities that are seeking employment to make connections with people from similar backgrounds or experiences and ask questions, interact with one another and meet potential employers.
It is intended to be a positive, helpful space for people who want to improve themselves and their situations.Â
