The Training & Trades Centre (TTC) was established in 2004 to provide quality training and trades programs to Indigenous individuals including First Nation Status, Non-Status, Métis, and Inuit. Since 2004, the TTC has provided programming to over 1700 students.
We offer a safe and holistic environment where our First Nations clients can take their first steps towards education, training, and employment while maintaining their traditional values. Our purpose is to evaluate the needs of our clients on an ongoing basis and to continually develop and implement training and education that meet their diverse needs.
