About Us
The Prince George Nechako Aboriginal Employment and Training Association provides a wide array of services to seventeen First Nations, and Urban/Rural Centers in the field of Aboriginal Human Resource Development, with new and exciting initiatives aimed at increasing the opportunity for Aboriginal People to impact local economies. In addition, the Prince George Nechako Aboriginal Employment & Training Association is only one of two AHRDA (Aboriginal Human Resource Development Agreement) Holders in Canada to administer the First Nations Urban Aboriginal Homelessness Strategy and the Aboriginal Homelessness fund.
Our Association, located in the hub of the North, has built a reputation for delivering an array of services. We have worked diligently to develop our capacity and to share capacity with the Aboriginal Communities. Our strategic plan reflects the need to incorporate services, encourage a diversified workforce and implement programs aimed at long term sustainability.
