The Aboriginal Training to Employment Program (ATEP) is a program where Human Services will support the development of partnerships with First Nations, Métis and other Aboriginal communities, organizations, other governments, industry and other interested parties to facilitate the participation of Aboriginal people to design and create training projects. These partnerships will assist unemployed or marginally employed Aboriginal people to gain the necessary skills training and/or work experience in projects to obtain and maintain long-term employment. Capacity building activities may involve a number of partners to build community, individual and entrepreneurial readiness.
