Employment and Skills Development

The Employment and Skills Development department works to build partnerships that help NunatuKavut Inuit gain employment. They oversee NCC’s employment and skills development-related agreements that provide resources for unemployed and underemployed individuals (working less than 20 hours per week).

Primary agreements include the Indigenous Skills Employment and Training (ISET) Program funded directly through Service Canada, and an ISET Program sub-agreement, funded through the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP).
