Dehcho First Nations and communities throughout the Dehcho Region will develop their strategic business plans keeping in mind the ASETS strategic priorities: Demand driven skills development; Partnership with the private sector and across the whole of government, and; Accountability for improved results. The ASETS program will provide an opportunity to modernize Aboriginal labour market programming.

Twenty-four Aboriginal clients are enrolled in the 16 month project which started on November 23, 2009 and will continue to March 31, 2011. The project objective is to provide under-employed Aboriginal clients with training in the field of construction as well as valuable work experience through a college training program while working towards certification as a Trades Helper or to continue into an apprenticeship program.
