Advancing Skills + Training Through the ITSD Hub

The Indigenous Training and Skills Development (ITSD) Hub provides training and development resources for Indigenous communities in the fisheries and oceans sector. We equip communities with the necessary planning tools and resources to support career progression and stability. Through the development of innovative and community-based training programs, we create a range of diverse job opportunities for Indigenous peoples, while also improving safety and contributing to food security and overall community well-being. Our ultimate goal is to empower Indigenous peoples to thrive, while advancing economic reconciliation and creating a brighter future for the next seven generations.
