Aboriginal Youth Work Exchange Program

About the program:

The Aboriginal Youth Work Exchange Program provides Aboriginal youth aged 15 to 24 (up to 29 for persons with a disability) with eight-week work placements focussing on resource management projects, job skills readiness training and personal development training.

Each participant remains with the program over three summers: two placements are with the Ministry of Natural Resources and the other is with a First Nations community or other Aboriginal organization.

Recruitment for these positions is facilitated in partnership with participating First Nation communities.
