Step 1: What Indigenous service delivery organizations offer

Indigenous service delivery organizations offer a variety of employment services based on the needs and priorities of First Nations, Inuit, Métis and urban/non-affiliated Indigenous people. Organizations will link your training needs to the job market by providing you with the skills and training you need to help find a job.

These organizations provide a suite of skills development and job training, from essential skills such as literacy and numeracy to more advanced training for in-demand jobs. They also offer a range of wrap-around services (such as help with child care supports and transportation) while you're training to achieve your long-term career goals.
