Supporting Well-Being for Indigenous Women

Three grants will help provide Indigenous women in Alberta with the skills and support they need to find careers and improve their livelihoods.

Funding to the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW) will support programs to help Indigenous women find jobs, security and success in Alberta’s rapidly recovering economy. With a focus on job readiness, retention and improved access to vital services, these programs will help participants build skills and confidence by offering customized plans to help develop career paths, from pre-employment training and education to long-term achievements in the workplace.

The IAAW will also provide advocacy, referrals and strategies for mental health, housing, transportation, child care and assistance navigating the justice system.
