Gabriel Dumont Institute Training and Employment Inc.

Gabriel Dumont Institute Training and Employment Services (GDITES) exists to assist Saskatchewan Métis looking to improve their educational and employment situation. 

The GDITES allocates funds to students based on labour market needs and trends.  Students may be helped through tuition support, living allowances and employer subsidies where eligible.  A strong link between the training and employment is a key element of the service.

Ten regional offices of the GDITES will ensure most of the province has access and will include staff travel to outlying communities to make sure the rest of the province is covered.  The GDITES will improve as a result of a closer link to the educational programming and career guidance the Gabriel Dumont Institute can offer.

Funding for this agreement is provided through the Aboriginal Human Resources Development Strategy (AHRDS), which is designed to expand employment opportunities for Aboriginal people across Canada.  Under the AHRDS, Aboriginal organizations design and deliver employment programs and services best suited to meeting the unique needs of their communities.  There are currently 80 AHRDA holders delivering labour market programs and services in over 400 locations across Canada.  The GDITES is one of two AHRDAs in Saskatchewan.
