Indigenous Awareness Training

Programs & Initiatives

programs and Initatives

Canada’s Building Trades Unions and our partners have developed a comprehensive training course for skilled trades apprentices, journeyworkers, contractors, local union staff, and leadership to help increase the understanding of indigenous peoples and their histories and cultures.

The course is based on the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada and provides context on current situations taking place within the construction industry and Indigenous Communities.

This fully online, three hour self-directed course can be customized for organizations to reflect specific regional needs, or contextual issues specific to their projects or local communities.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Developed by Canada’s Building Trades Unions, and funded in part by Employment and Social Development Canada’s (ESDC) Canadian Apprenticeship Strategy (CAS), our program has been developed as part of our commitment to reconciliation and inclusion in the building trades, as part of our larger Build Together initiative.
