INDIGENOUS EDUCATIONAL
SUPPORT
Recognizing that Indigenous youth is the
fastest growing sector in Canada, and to
ensure access and success, CICan has
increased its commitment to Indigenous
learners and communities across the coun-
try, addressing skills development needs
in each community. Over fifty institutions
have signed CICan’s Indigenous Education
Protocol which provides a framework for
serving Indigenous peoples and communi-
ties.
In fact, there is hardly an area of education-
al expertise that CICan and its members
aren’t involved in. From skills training and
applied research, to immigrant integration
and international development, CICan is
working hard to keep Canada’s reputation
as a global leader in innovation and techni-
cal education.
