The Ministry of Advanced Education is funding partnerships that connect Aboriginal students with education and training programs in their communities. These programs provide Aboriginal learners with work-ready skills, such as basic computer literacy, as well as skills needed for jobs in sectors such as construction, tourism, and education.

This investment supports almost 800 Aboriginal students in communities throughout the province.
