National ISET Gathering

Friday, January 22 to Sunday, January 24

This gathering brings together Indigenous Skills and Employment Training (ISET) holders from across Canada on January 22-24, 2027 in Ottawa. Building on the popularity and success of the past three national gatherings, ISET offices will meet once again to share wise practices, prior to CERIC’s Cannexus27 Career Development Conference.

The purpose of this convening is to discuss, learn and listen to ISET holders from across the country. It’s a chance to share best practices, meet new people, reconnect with colleagues from coast to coast and leave feeling inspired with fresh ideas to bring back to your community. Join for meaningful connections, learning and collaboration in support of skills training and employment for Indigenous Peoples.

This gathering is created exclusively for ISET staff, managers and front-line team members from Nation Agreement and Sub-Agreement Holder organizations. Attendance is limited to these groups unless by special invitation. If you’d like to request an invitation, please contact the organizers.
