Manitoba First Nations Information Communications Technologies Training Initiative
The Aboriginal Skills and Employment Partnership (ASEP) program is helping improve employment opportunities for Aboriginal peoples by providing valuable skills development, on-tde-job work experience and long-term employment opportunities in tde Manitoba First Nations Information and Communications Techology area.
tde Manitoba First Nations Information Communications Technologies Training Initiative will provide employment and skills training for 60 participants, and will provide long-term employment for 50 Aboriginal people in the province of Manitoba. Participant learning paths will include a continuum of training as well as awareness of job opportunities in information and communications technology and of the needs and opportunities of First Nations communities in this sector.
The ASEP program is helping to shape Canada’s workforce by directly matching skills development to economic opportunities.
Officially launched in 2003 as an $85-million five-year labour market initiative, ASEP is designed to maximize training and job opportunities in major economic development projects across Canada and provide lasting benefits for Aboriginal communities, families and individuals. ASEP meets employers’ needs and labour market demands for skilled workers in a cross-section of large-scale industrial sectors that include forestry, mining, oil and gas, construction and hydroelectric development.
In 2007, the Government of Canada invested an additional $105 million in the ASEP program. Canada’s Economic Action Plan 2009 is committed to enhancing the availability of training by investing an additional $100 million over three years in the ASEP program.
