Employment Programs
We have three employment and back to school programs (Employment Readiness Program, Courage to Soar, and Apatisiwin) to support you on your journey.
Employment Readiness
The Employment Readiness Program (ERP) is modeled on the teachings of the Medicine Wheel. It is a traditional, Indigenous program to find meaningful work and/or training. This program is making a difference and continues to be one of Minwaashin's strongest programs. It runs four times a year.
​
Courage to Soar
Courage to Soar is a 7-month hybrid Administrative Assistant program, in partnership with Algonquin College. CTS program starts every September. Registration for Fall 2025 is now closed.
Apatisiwin
The Apatisiwin program matches eligible clients with potential employers. Partnerships with community colleges, local universities, private training institutes and businesses across the province provide training and employment opportunities for Ontario’s urban Indigenous people.
