NITEP, the Indigenous Teacher Education Program in the Faculty of Education at UBC, has celebrated graduating over 400 educators in its 44 years of existence. Part of NITEP’s success can be credited to its devotion to community-based programming, which allows students to complete the majority of their education in their home communities. The program has worked with over 20 communities in British Columbia, including field centres in such locations as Vancouver, Lillooet, Fraser Valley, the Cariboo (Williams Lake/Quesnel), Bella Coola, Campbell River, and Hazelton. NITEP aims to increase the number of Indigenous educators in both British Columbia and Canada with the broader goal of supporting Indigenous learners and communities in achieving educational parity with non-Indigenous learners.

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.”
