Virtual Pavilion — IT Apprenticeship Program for Indigenous Peoples

The IT Apprenticeship Program for Indigenous Peoples is a Government of Canada initiative specifically for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. It is pathway to employment in the federal public service for Indigenous peoples who have a passion for Information Technology (IT).
THE STRATEGY In collaboration with the IT Apprenticeship Program for Indigenous Peoples, the Indigenous Talent Portal will begin with a focus on IT and technology talent, which will: HIGH DEMAND Address the great demand for Indigenous talent in IT. GROW Allow for growth in its recruitment scope by targeting other occupational areas in the future. ASSESS Allow for data and feedback to be collected and leveraged to improve the service. LAUNCH The program launched in the early half of 2023.


By valuing and focusing on a person’s potential, rather than on their educational attainment level, the program removes one of the biggest barriers that exists when it comes to employment within the digital economy. The program has been developed by, with, and for Indigenous peoples from across Canada. Its design incorporates the preferences and needs of Indigenous learners while recognizing the importance of community.

Upon successful completion of the program, it is hoped that apprentices will consider remaining with the Government of Canada.
