Cultural Principles
A holistic approach based on Moose Cree traditional teachings and values that support and reinforce identity and culture.
History
In March 2012, Moose Cree First Nation Chief and Council mandated all departments involved in employment and training services to amalgamate under one umbrella to establish an integrated training to employment team. Its purpose was to create a one point of contact for employment and training needs for MCFN members, organizations and business owners.
From 2012 to 2016, the groundwork began to establish a Moose Cree Training and Employment team.
Previously, the Aboriginal Skills and Employment Training (ASET) Agreement was held by Mushkegowuk Employment and Training Services (METS) prior to April 1, 2019.
MCTEU, a not for profit organization, officially became a federally Incorporated body effective April 23rd, 2019. In July 2019, Moose Cree Training and Employment Unit (MCTEU) became its own agreement holder under the newly implemented Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) Program.
