Some of its strongest partners are those organizations that support the program’s work experience component. These include:

• Small business
• The Government of the Northwest Territories
• Hotels
• The construction industry
• Retail stores
• Offices
• Schools
• The public library
• Aboriginal organizations, such as the Dene Nation and the Treaty 11 office, bands and AHRDAs.

The program has also formed a strong partnership with the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development (RWED) for its on-the-land program. Wildlife officers from the department take staff and learners out on day trips during the program. Spending time on the land is such an important facet of the program that last year learners opted for another on-the-land trip with RWED staff instead of holding a Christmas party for themselves.
