Indigenous Apprenticeship Initiatives
The Indigenous Apprenticeship Initiatives (IAI) program promotes awareness of apprenticeship training and understanding of the trades as a career choice. The IAI accepts proposals yearly, which can include a variety of projects, including apprenticeship courses with First Nations and Indigenous partners, mentoring projects, career exploration and other opportunities.
Indigenous Apprenticeship Initiatives proposals for 2020-21 will begin in January 2020. See the Request for Proposal for more information, or contact the IAI Coordinator at 306-787-2439.
