To ensure SARSET is accessible to eligible Aboriginal persons, the province is divided into five (5) regions. Each point of service is located in Sydney, Truro, Dartmouth, Coldbrook and Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

How We Help:

  • Identifying with you, your needs and barriers while respecting and keeping confidentiality
  • Offering long term supports as needed to overcome barriers
  • Helping to develop and commit with you, a realistic plan to achieve success, by outlining your skills, assets and barriers that may have influence upon employment and training opportunities
  • Assist in developing and updating resumes
  • and more.
