Why do I need to take Indigenous Awareness Training?
There is a great opportunity to improve as a society by transforming our understanding of Indigenous people today and throughout history. Unfortunately, Canadians still don’t know Canada’s “hidden” history, including Canada’s assimilation policies that have lasting effects still felt by Indigenous people today. Also, because of the lack of knowledge, many Canadians hold harmful prejudices about Indigenous people in life and at work. Indigenous Awareness Training can help leaders think confidently to cultivate respectful relationships with Indigenous peoples and support the development of well-rounded, diverse teams.
Indigenous Awareness Training for Professionals and Executives
Training through indigecation provides authentic storytelling embedded with reliable information such as facts, terms, and contexts around the history of Indigenous peoples. Each participant will have the opportunity to hear the “hidden” side of Canadian history, evaluate their perspectives through an Indigenous lens, recognize their impact in the workplace and transform their reconciliation strategies. Participants will leave the training aware of their place in Canadian society and be empowered to become Indigenous advocates and allies in their workplace and through customer relations. Participants will also receive a certificate of completion and a strategy to implement in their reconciliation plans.
