Regional Hubs
Through our regional hubs, we keep our ear to the ground to ensure our work is always locally informed, regionally relevant and provincially integrated. This regional approach allows us to:
• Collaborate with new and existing networks of employers, community organizations, and employment and training service providers.
• Identify and understand local needs, priorities, and trends.
• Address needs through the most relevant research, information, and support.

Indigenous youth, the fastest growing population in
Canada, have high unemployment rates and low
secondary and post-secondary completion rates
resulting in Indigenous adults not obtaining the
credentials and training required for meaningful
employment opportunities.
