Algonquin College will launch an Indigenous Studies diploma and Indigenous Studies certificate program this September. Developed in collaboration with Inuit, Métis, and First Nations communities, the programs follow a curriculum that incorporates Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being into the fields of education, law, health care, culture, and language. These programs aim to prepare learners for careers that will include engagement with Indigenous communities, businesses, and organizations. “Our Indigenous Studies diploma and certificate programs are not only a continuation of Algonquin College’s commitment to reconciliation, but a commitment to develop a better understanding and appreciation of Indigenous Peoples and the issues faced by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples,” said Algonquin President Claude Brulé.
