Employment &
Training Support
SkilledTradesBC works with Indigenous community training and employment service agencies across the province. In addition to Bands and Tribal Councils, organizations funded through the Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) Program provide support to Indigenous peoples for employment and training, including in the skilled trades.
Currently, there are over 20 ISET organizations in B.C., with regional service areas, to help Indigenous peoples prepare for, find, and keep high-demand jobs now and in the long term.
All Indigenous peoples, regardless of status, affiliation, or location, may access ISET programs and services. These include:
job-finding skills and training
funding opportunities
programs for youth
access to childcare
programs for urban and rural Indigenous peoples
individuals with disabilities.
