Programs and Initiatives

Indigenous Skills Training and Development Fund

The Ministry funds skills training programs for participants to obtain transferrable skills that respond to labour needs and/or priorities identified by Indigenous communities. The objective of the program is to support Indigenous participants along the employment continuum, into employment and/or self-employment, or to enter further post-secondary education.

Aboriginal Community-Based Training Partnerships Program

The Aboriginal Community-Based Training Partnerships Program supports partnerships between Indigenous communities and public post-secondary institutions to provide Indigenous peoples with post-secondary education and training in their communities.

Community Workforce Response Grant, Indigenous Stream

The Indigenous Communities Stream provides funding to Indigenous communities so they can develop the skills people need for employment or self-employment.
