Purpose

To provide information, direction and advice to the youth of First Nations in the areas of :

  • Training

  • Employment Preparation

We have attempted to provide the youth who are between the ages 15 and 30  with as many opportunities as possible in personal and skill development.

Our target group is youth who are presently   unemployed, out of school, and that have barriers to  employment.

Funding is accessed through ASETS youth program and First Nation's Youth Experience Program available from INAC, and also other partnership projects from other businesses/organizations.
