Ministry Mandate and Goals:
The Ministry of Skills Training, Employment, and Post-Secondary Education (STEPS) is focused on increasing Métis representation in both the labour market and post-secondary systems through culturally relevant, community-informed programs and services. STEPS works closely with provincial and federal partners, post-secondary institutions, employers, and Métis Chartered Communities to identify and remove barriers to success. Through direct service delivery, policy development, and strategic partnerships, STEPS works to advance Nation priorities and labour market goals that increase educational attainment and support Métis clients in building sustainable and fulfilling careers.

STEPS Program Guidelines:
The Standards of Practice (SOP) are intended to maintain clarity and transparency in the delivery of STEPS programs and services. The SOP is updated periodically based on feedback from STEPS staff, MNBC Citizens, and Métis Chartered Communities.
