The National Indigenous Student Circle was founded by Indigenous students in the Public Service who wanted a space to connect, network, and share resources amongst other Indigenous students.
As an extension of the Indigenous Student Employment Opportunity, the National Indigenous Student Circle offers a Facebook group for previously employed students, currently employed students, and those who are interested in employment, a podcast series on most requested topics to fit with students’ busy schedules, and events that include mentorship and how to be bridged.
