About this service

APTEC is the employment and training division of the Native Council of Nova Scotia established to provide human resource development services to the rural, urban, off-reserve Mikmaq / Aboriginal Peoples of Nova Scotia. Established as an outreach employment service in 1977, APTEC is now supported partially through the Aboriginal Human Resource Development Strategy (AHRDA) and an employment assistance agreement with Service Canada.

APTEC offers the target group a range of employment and training services with the goal to obtain and maintain long-term sustainable employment. This is completed through assessment, employment counselling, a mutually agreed upon return to the work action plan, and where determined, funding support. Current support programs accessible to the target group consist of, targeted or wage subsidies, job creation partnerships, skills development and the self-employment program.
