Indigenous Relations Training Program
Why take this program?
Indigenous people are one of the fastest-growing populations in Canada. In addition to increased economic activity, growth and expansion within Indigenous communities, there are also growing business development opportunities for Indigenous individuals across Canada.
Understanding Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Doing, Connecting and Being, the historical context of Indigenous people in Canada, and how to build fruitful relationships with Indigenous communities is a fundamental step in the journey to truth and reconciliation. In addition, this knowledge and skillset are extremely valuable for job seekers and professionals in all disciplines.
Understand Issues Facing Canada's Indigenous Population
We welcome individuals who are seeking professional or personal development to gain a better understanding of the issues facing Canada's Indigenous population today and how to effectively build relationships with Indigenous communities and Indigenous community members.
