Overview

The Aboriginal Human Resource Council (AHRC) is a private-public, not-for-profit organization that connects Aboriginal organizations and employers to partnerships and solutions that accelerate the recruitment, retention and advancement of Aboriginal people in the Canadian labour market.

The Aboriginal Human Resource Council (AHRC) is responding to Canada's growing need for skilled trade and apprenticeship workers through a new national trades and apprenticeship project. This three-year initiative, designed to develop new partnerships and employment strategies, will give employers and trainers enhanced access to Canada’s largely untapped and existing human capital of Aboriginal people who are eager to fill the employment gap.
