Funding for skills building

Aboriginal youth from 28 First Nations will get an opportunity to develop their skills through the Sioux Lookout Area Aboriginal Management Board.
The job training and employment services agency got more than $90,000 Aug. 13 to support its Clerical/Seniors Project.
The project follows Skills Link criteria which aims to help youth facing barriers to employment, such as single parents, Aboriginal youth, young persons with disabilities, recent immigrants, youth living in rural and remote areas and youth who have dropped out of high school.
Kenora MP Greg Rickford made the announcement on behalf of Human Resources Minister Diane Finley.
