The First Nations Technical Institute has received $4.5M from the Government of Canada to expand its aerospace training programs and create new opportunities for Indigenous youth. With this federal boost, FNTI will acquire specialized equipment and establish a training program through which students will attain a helicopter pilot license. “This funding announcement brings an envelope of support that will provide a new aviation helicopter training program to Indigenous students from remote, fly-in, and urban regions across Canada, graduating more pilots, growing economic development, stimulating entrepreneurship, cultivating mentorship and responding to the needs of communities,” said FNTI President Suzanne Brant.
