Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ASETS)
If you’re an Aboriginal Canadian and are wondering where to find a job or how to upgrade your skills, the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ASETS) may be your answer.
Using an integrated approach, ASETS will link your training needs to labour market demands, providing you with training or skill upgrading and with help finding a job.
To find out what’s available, start by finding an Aboriginal Agreement Holder in your area. Aboriginal Agreement Holders deliver ASETS through an extensive network of service points across Canada . If you are an ASETS Agreement holder, you can log into the members section.
