Indigenous cultural relevance of post-secondary training programs
Best practices for Indigenous cultural safety in post-secondary education programs that lead to jobs in the mining sector.
This analysis and decision-support tool enables measurement of the Indigenous cultural relevance of post-secondary training programs in the mining sector, and the identification of priority actions that lead to achievement of cultural safety. Ultimately, the tool is designed to improve the Indigenous students experience, and is intended for instructors and administrators of educational institutions.
The tool was developed as part of a research project at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue School of Indigenous Studies, and funded by the CÉGEPAT-UQAT Pôle en enseignement supérieur dans le secteur minier.
