Partnership Opportunities

 A partnership is a relationship where two or more parties, having compatible goals, form an agreement to share the work, share the risk and share the results or proceeds.

 Types of Partnerships:

1) Community-based partnerships

2) Rural, northern and urban partnerships

3) Government partnerships

4) Regional or national partnerships

Partnerships are primarily designed to answer labour market needs and enhance client employability. They can be initiated by AETS or by a third party to address a need identified through labour market analysis, with an interest in seeing First Nations Citizens trained for a particular trade, occupation or labour skill.


Contact the Operations Manager Kathleen Maletta (kathleen.maletta@aets.org
