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).
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.
