Description

  • foster industry partnerships to expand the availability, accessibility and quality of Indigenous employment opportunities
  • inform organizational priorities with labour market information to better meet skills needs and market demand

Eligible Applicants

The following Albertan organizations are eligible to apply:

Applicants must also be:

  • corporate entities in good standing
  • entities in compliance with the terms and conditions of any previously received funds from Indigenous Relations

  • direct training costs
  • training supplies and materials
  • venues for training or employment, industry or planning events
  • wages and benefits for dedicated project staff members
  • required travel expenses for project participants

  • elder honoraria

There is not a maximum amount established for grant funding requests, however funding is limited.

  • availability of funding
  • alignment to program priorities
  • ability of partners to make financial, in-kind or both types of contributions
