The Government of Ontario says it is investing $57 million in Indigenous Institutes across the province, calling it the largest single investment in Indigenous higher education in Ontario’s history.
The funding is part of a broader $6.4-billion plan aimed at supporting postsecondary education and ensuring students have access to training for in-demand careers.
“Indigenous youth are the fastest-growing group in Ontario’s workforce,” said Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security. “By providing record-setting investments into the Indigenous Institutes, we’re ensuring Indigenous students receive a world class education that equips them with the skills they need to launch good-paying, rewarding careers that builds stronger communities.”
