Royal Roads University has partnered with the Government of Canada, the Government of Nunavut, and Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated to launch the Namminiqsurniq Professional Project Administrator Program. The program aims to support the Nunavut Lands and Resources Devolution Agreement—the 2027 transfer of land and resource management from the federal government to the territory—through education and work placements. A group of 12 Nunavut Inuit will take part in paid public administration training delivered by Royal Roads, followed by nine months of applied work placements that will transition into roles with the Government of Nunavut. Throughout the experience, they will also receive wraparound supports through the Inunnguqsaivik Learning Community.
