Aurora College’s FSC-funded project Indigenous Business Centre of Excellence (IBCE) Feasibility Study aimed to better understand needs, opportunities and best models in establishing an Indigenous Business Centre of Excellence (IBCE) at the NWT institution, as well as establishing a model for a two-year pilot.

The Northern Tourism Recovery Incubator developed by ITAC was created to support SMEs in Northern communities to strengthen their business, rebuild Indigenous tourism operators and re-train staff members to support visitors and public health expectations as the tourism industry recovers.

The project explores how Indigenous communities can be engaged in the care and education of their children and how they might advocate for better and more equitable services and programing.

This project aims to find solutions to the shortage of trained Indigenous early learning and child care workers for Micmac communities.

This project will develop and test a novel solution to document real-time changes in Indigenous labour markets to track and respond to labour market change.

The Indigenous economy will benefit from increased research collaboration, improved knowledge mobilization, new networks and partnerships that advance economic growth, jobs and well-being.

Indigenous communities will be empowered through a national Indigenous leadership program with links to industry and career development opportunities.

The Indigenous Employment Hub can help meet labour needs for future (infrastructure) projects in B.C. and become a model for creating meaningful employment opportunities for Indigenous people.

Create innovative educational opportunities that reduce barriers to Indigenous peoples’ participation and increase the number of Indigenous youth workers with postsecondary certificates who have marketable skills.
