Métis Employment & Training (MET)
The MMF’s Métis Employment & Training Department (MET) links employment and training programming to current and future labour market demands, ensuring Indigenous peoples in Canada can fully participate in employment and economic opportunities.
MET offers employment and/or skills training programs and services to assist our Red River Métis Community and Citizens; these include assessment of client needs, career planning, reviewing job search techniques, assistance with job searching, job boards, labour market information, access to academic knowledge, and directing clients to training programs, educational programs, and employers.
Red River Métis students entering full-time studies may be eligible for sponsorship.

Financial support is available for students who meet specific eligibility criteria, such as tuition and mandatory course fees, books, supplies, equipment, and training allowances.
The MMF has always nurtured partnerships to provide clients with the best possible service. These partnerships combine resources, establish links to meaningful employment and create unique training opportunities for MET’s clients.
