Apatisiwin will directly serve urban Indigenous individuals and communities, supporting people of Indigenous ancestry within the Kingston region.
Apatisiwin is a Swampy Cree word meaning “employment, training, and jobs” and the vision of the Apatisiwin Program is to ensure Indigenous people gain education, experience, and skills to achieve and maintain meaningful employment and improve their employability.
The Apatisiwin Program will work collaboratively with community partners to ensure Indigenous job seekers have access to the supports they need to succeed, and build relationships with local schools, community colleges, universities, training institutes, agencies and businesses.
We offer workshops and presentations on education, employment, cultural supports, and any other subjects relevant to advancing community goals.
