ASETS In 2009, Human Resources and Skills Development Canada announced a successor strategy to AHRDS – the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ASETS) The ASETS is the partnership and results-based successor strategy to the AHRDS and is a key component of the Federal Framework for Aboriginal Economic Development ASETS is a five-year strategy that focuses on three priorities

Second, the Government of Canada is investing in targeted initiatives to build innovation, and business investment. Third, bringing Canada’s finances back to a balance Over the next fiscal year, the Federal Government will continue to maintain and create jobs

    11. ASETS Priorities Demand driven skills development Over $4 billion in actions to create and protect jobs. This includes additional Employment Insurance (EI) benefits and more training opportunities. $7.7 billion in infrastructure stimulus to create jobs. This will modernize infrastructure, support home ownership and improve social housing across Canada $1.9 billion to create the economy of tomorrow.

    15. FN Inuit Childcare Initiative Presently, FPDI has 37 Day Care Programs under the current AHRDS Agreement With approx 534 spaces being occupied by children with studying or working parents Three centres are provincially licensed We welcome Bonnie Traverse as the new Day Care Coordinator. Ms. Traverse has the appropriate ECE training and holds a Bachelors Degree in Social Work

    16. FN Inuit Childcare Initiative The issues that exist include: - changes in community expectations that would bring a higher comfort level with home-based day care operations; - the jurisdictional divide between governments where one government provides the resources, the other establishes the operational standards, and a third manages the program; - the opportunity to rationalize the licensing of day cares on Reserve; - the feasibility, implementation and management of provisional licenses; - the opportunity to get access to training in the same manner as the Manitoba Child Care Association members; and - the financial resources necessary and available to recruit and retain staff in a competitive market where the private sector, Manitoba Government, and the Head Start are all potential employers for ECE trained staff.
