The Capacity Development Department represents the 'mental' portion of the medicine wheel. This department is responsible for overseeing the education, training, and employment of C/TFN citizens and staff.
C/TFN operates a licensed daycare, the Ya Dak Du Hidi Early Childhood Development Centre, overseen by the Capacity Department. The Ya Dak Du Hidi has 25 child care spaces and 7 staff.
The Capacity Development Department also supports the needs of C/TFN students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. This includes kids attending Ghuch Tla Elementary School in Carcross, as well as students who move on to high school in Whitehorse.
