The Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) Program is designed to help Indigenous people improve their skills and find employment.
The ISET Program builds on what was successful about Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ASETS) and reflects what was heard from Indigenous partners to include:
- a co-developed program with Indigenous partners;
- increased funding;
- greater flexibility for organizations to design programming to meet the needs of their people and communities; and
- a new distinctions-based strategy that recognizes, respects and reflects Canada’s Indigenous peoples, specifically the First Nations, Métis and Inuit, but also addresses urban/non-affiliated service delivery needs.
