The First Nations University of Canada took time this week to celebrate the grand opening of a new Career Centre.
The new centre is located at FNU’s Regina campus, but will be accessible to students attending the university in Saskatoon and Prince Albert as well.
The Career Centre is said to be designed to bridge classroom learning to real-world experience.
Through the centre, students will have access to mentorship, career coaching, networking, and professional development opportunities.
“The Career Centre will be a space where Indigenous students are further uplifted and supported into their next transition – the workforce,” said FNU President Dr. Jacqueline Ottmann. “The Career Centre will serve as a bridge between the university and the workplace, supporting the evolution from student to working professional.”
The grand opening of the Career Centre was held on Thursday.
The centre was completed in partnership with Co-operators with additional support from the Mastercard Foundation.
