The Executive MBA in Indigenous Business and Leadership in the Beedie School of Business at Simon Fraser University has been in existence for five years. The program is intended for mature leaders with at least 10 years of experience in business or leadership. It is “designed to bring skills that have not been available for Indigenous leaders, to Indigenous leaders.” The program aims to reflect the cultural values and identities of Indigenous peoples in its design and delivery while also encouraging students to think about what the goals and practices of Indigenous business should be – rather than looking at how everyday business can be transferred to the practices of Indigenous people and communities. The program is also designed to promote the integration of Indigenous knowledge into ways of conducting business, while also being responsive to the context in which Indigenous people are living. Through promoting collaboration between students, the program aims to support the “building of a network of Indigenous leaders who have a background in business and in performing business in Indigenous contexts.”

Le Conseil atikamekw de Manawan, par le projet Matcekiw a comme mission le renforcement de trois domaines prioritaires aux yeux de la communauté soit 1) la prévention et la sensibilisation, 2) la promotion et 3) l’intervention. Matcekiw, « développement de l’enfance dans ses forces » désire favoriser l’épanouissement des jeunes et leurs pouvoir d’agir. Pour atteindre cet objectif il semble inévitable que Matcekiw doit mettre en place des stratégies complémentaires au plan de la réussite scolaire. Matcekiw offre ainsi divers ateliers aux enfants de 0 à 4 ans et leurs familles et aux jeunes de 12 à 20 ans permettant à ceux-ci d’acquérir des outils pour faire face à leurs difficultés et développer une attitude positive envers l’école et leur avenir. Matcekiw propose plus d’une dizaine d’activités et d’ateliers rejoignant environ 200 jeunes et parents abordant entre autres l’entrée à l’école, la sensibilisation à la persévérance scolaire et les activités parascolaires (CTREQ : 2013). Ces événements sont plus précisément orientés vers deux volets soit 1) la préparation aux examens et le passage au secondaire destinés aux jeunes de 5e et de 6e année du primaire et 2) des soirées d’informations sur le développement de l’enfant et l’importance de l’encadrement dès le plus jeune âge (PSJA :2017).
