Skills and Employment Training

Witset First Nation has a Stand-Alone Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) agreement with Canada. This provides base funding for a variety of pre-employment training and support, skills training, and career supports. Witset members (both on- and off-reserve), may register for support with the Employment Services Office. Other Indigenous people in Witset may also reach out, as other funding sources or referrals may be available.
