Résumé
Delivery of the Northern Adult Basic Education Program (NABEP). NABEP was created in 2011 to address the unique challenges faced by working-age Northerners, more specifically the low educational attainment and high unemployment rates faced by northern Indigenous people. It aims to ensure that Northerners have improved access to training, and are better positioned to participate in the labour market. The objective of NABEP is to expand the territorial post-secondary educational institutions' basic workplace skills programs (e.g. literacy and numeracy programs, skills development programs, academic readiness, adult high school, trades training, educational assessment, and career counselling), particularly in remote communities.
