Active Measures(AM) initiative is designed to support First Nations moving from a passive income assistance environment towards the job market. It can include skills development, counselling, job searching support etc. The initiative, developed by Indian and Northern Affairs with direction and input from the First Nations Social Development Society(FNSDS), brings Federal, regional (Provincial) and First Nations partners to the table. Active Measures utilizes a holistic approach and encourages a collaborative environment in which First Nations education, health, and social development workers, along with local ASET Holders (Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training Strategy) support individuals on their path towards employment. The following videos highlight 3 of the 15 INAC funded 2009-2010 Active Measures Demonstration Projects.
