Online applications are preferred, however if circumstances prevent an applicant from completing an online application or require help with an electronic application, email jobs@critfc.org for assistance.



Indian Preference Policy

Consistent with the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, CRITFC gives preference in employment matters to, in order of priority, qualified enrolled members of the four CRITFC member tribes, then to qualified enrolled members of other federally recognized tribes. CRITFC will consider all other qualified candidates if no qualified tribal applicant is available to fill the position.

CRITFC is committed to building a culturally inclusive community and a work environment that respects and inspires every person. Members of historically marginalized groups including women, people of color, those with disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, those who have served in the military, and members of other underrepresented communities are invited to apply.
