Dehcho First Nations ASETS Dehcho First Nations AHRDA will be transitioning to the new Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ASETS) program The ASETS program is an opportunity to modernize Aboriginal labour market programming

Right now Aboriginal organizations across Canada will begin their strategic business planning process, 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
