Featured Programs

The School of Continuing Studies has launched several of its online programs through grants and initiatives that were originally created out of the need for building capacity in Indigenous communities. The Certificate in Indigenous Business Management and the Certificate in Information Systems (which later became the Certificate in Computers and Information Technology) were both launched in 2015 when Dr. Sicilia received a grant of $1.2M in from the Federal Government in partnership with two Cree First Nations in Chisasibi and Waswanipi, in the James Bay Territory. Having developed these programs keeping Indigenous adult learners in mind, we recommend these programs for their accessibility to remote communities and their collaborative development with our partners.
