Providing Employment
and Training Supports

to Urban Indigenous Youth
for over 30 years.

WHAT WE DO

Successfully Transition Youth into the Labour Market.

Established in 1992, NPAAMB Indigenous Youth Employment & Training is a not-for-profit organization with a primary mandate to provide employment and training solutions.

ABOUT US

We Are Passionate

We seek to enhance the quality of life for our clients through demand-driven and culturally appropriate employment and training supports. It is our goal to build opportunities reflecting community needs responsive to labour market trends, while promoting paths of leadership for our clients.

Our Mission

To provide skills development and training opportunities for urban Indigenous youth in Southern Ontario. NPAAMB attracts, develops, and motivates young Indigenous talent by respecting their diverse cultural identities and working closely within the communities we serve.

Our Vision

The urban Indigenous youth we serve will have increased confidence, self-esteem, and leadership abilities. They will develop skills and a strong attachment to the workforce that will make them more employable and provide them with greater stability. NPAAMB will be a leader in supporting our youth as they transform into leaders contributing to their communities.

Our Values

We are guided by accountability, honesty, integrity, and respect—upholding high standards, acting with openness, and treating everyone with dignity and compassion. With humility and a strong commitment to collaboration, we work together as responsible stewards of our organization and environment, continuously striving to create lasting impact for future generations.

OUR WORK

No matter what form success takes in education, these stories serve as examples of what can be achieved through hard work, determination, and a willingness to learn.
