Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Program

The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) provides funding and assistance for training and skills development to non-Status Indians (First Nations), Métis, and Southern Inuit, living off reserve in Canada.

The ISET program is designed to help Aboriginal Peoples prepare for, and find quality high-demand jobs and careers. The program is funded through Employment and Social Development Canada’s ISET program. The CAP ISET program targets Aboriginal Peoples living in urban, rural and remote areas throughout Canada and focuses on non-Status Indigenous peoples, Métis, and Southern Inuit, living off reserve in Canada. Priority is given to Aboriginal youth, single parents, persons with disabilities, women, and mature workers experiencing career change or transition.
