- skills development;
- training for high-demand jobs;
- job finding;
- programs for youth;
- programs for urban and Aboriginal people with disabilities;
- and access to child care.

The Summer Training Program provides Aboriginal youth with summer employment that offers a combination of military training and First Nations cultural awareness.
The ISETS holders are able to provide funding for programs and supports in partnership with the bands. For more information please contact the ISET holder in your region.
