The vision of the Apatisiwin Program is that Urban Indigenous people gain education, experience, and skills to achieve and maintain meaningful employment.
Apatisiwin offers employment and training services and supports through 19 funded and non-funded program interventions. Interventions are defined as an action plan activity, within a specific timeframe, co-developed by a direct-service user and an Employment or Youth Employment Counsellor.
Action plans are intended to assist direct-service users with their employment and training goals such as: securing employment or self-employment, returning to school, staying in school, becoming ready to enter the labour force, and improving their overall employability. Apatisiwin also offers employment related workshops and presentations and provides enhanced supports for “in-school-youth” which includes early interventions (for those in grades K-12).
