Niskamoon and You!

In 2004, the Niskamoon Agreement allowed for the creation of non-profit organization, the Niskamoon Corporation.

While the corporation has many functions, one of them they are best known for is the facilitation of training programs intended to streamline Crees into technical vocations for positions created specifically for Crees within Hydro-Québec.

Niskamoon offers four different courses within this specific program that will lead to jobs within Hydro-Québec – two are vocational and two are technical. For those whose academic history does not meet the criteria for these programs, upgrading courses are also provided by Niskamoon as well as French courses so that Cree students can make it from the classroom to the workforce as fast as possible.

The two Vocational (DEP) programs are the Automated Systems Electro-Mechanics (DEP 5281) and the Industrial Construction and Maintenance Mechanics (DEP 5260). Both programs are two years long.

The Automated Systems Electro-Mechanics is administered at the Centre Polymétier in Rouyn-Noranda. The course is taught in French and requires that applicants have completed Secondary 4 or that they be 18 years old and pass a General Development Test with Secondary 4 Math and/ or pass a High School Equivalency Test and that they be fluent in French.

Programs for Crees in Chibougamau

Just a hop, skip and a jump away from several Cree communities, the City of Chibougamau offers a handful of courses that are specifically designed for Crees and jobs within the Cree nation.

New this year, the Business and Community Service of the Centre d’études collégiales à Chibougamau (CÉCC) has completely revamped its forestry and environment program in collaboration with the Cree nation to offer something special.

The brand-new Environmental Management Program will be offered for the first time this September and it is designed specifically for environmental management within the Cree nation. Students will learn about environmental development, interpretation, wildlife protection and conservation to lead to careers in environment, forestry, wildlife management and ecotourism.

This exciting program will first focus on classroom theory but also offer practical on-the-job training in various different settings throughout Chibougamau and the Eastmain-1-A–Sarcelle–Rupert hydropower project site. This four-year-long, 2700-hour program will begin on August 22 for the first time ever and, of course, Cree students will get their two weeks off for Goose Break, like every program adapted for the Crees.

For those who are not quite ready to take the plunge into a proper career-driven program, the CÉCC offers upgrading courses so that students can get the proper academic credits to get into other programs. At the CÉCC, this program is called Ashuugan and it is ideal for those who are just transitioning into collegial studies.

There are also other programs offered at the CÉCC through the Cégep de Saint-Félicien, which have been adapted to the needs of Cree students.

Their revolutionary Nursing program that began in 2008 will soon be graduating its first crop of Cree nurses in the spring of 2012. They will all graduate as registered nurses and will be able to practice anywhere within the Cree communities.

Not only is this the only English-language Nursing program available in James Bay, rather than offering the regular three-year registered nursing program, Saint-Félicien offers a four-year program has been adapted to accommodate both the educational and cultural needs of Cree students. This is the same program offered by l’Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec which usually runs two years in other institutions.

With the more drawn-out course schedule, Crees caring for young children or family Elders can still go to school and attend to those who need it most simultaneously.

The Ministry of Education, Cégep de Saint-Félicien, Cree Human Resources Development, Cree School Board, Cree Health Board and Emploi-Québec worked as partners to create this program as a means of addressing the Cree communities need to hire 100 new nurses.

Also there are CÉCC programs for those interested in working with children. For those interested in either getting a job or advancing their position within a daycare centre, the Childhood Educator program is offered. Similarly, for those interested in working within the school system to aid children with special needs, the Special Needs Educator program is also available.

For those interested in seeing their community infrastructure improve, a Civil Engineering program is also available as a one-year program of 1260 hours. Designed to get Cree students into the job market quickly, this program is geared towards road and municipal work inspection and quality control. With the large amount of roadwork to be done in and around James Bay’s communities, job possibilities are literally limitless.

Val-d’Or

For those who don’t want to leave the north for their education, many Crees and Aboriginals from other Nations choose to hit the books in Val-d’Or. It’s the city that always has several familiar Cree faces, a social network established through the Friendship Centre of Val-d’Or as well as many Cree enterprises.

The Cégep de l’Abitibi-Témiscamingue offers its own Access to College program geared at getting those who may not have all of the necessary college entry credentials get what they need. While taking part in this program, students have access to the First Nations Student Services (FNSS) department to brush up on their studying skills and to get help adapting to their new situation.

Because finding housing in Val-d’Or can be unbelievably difficult, the FNSS department also helps students acquire housing. This world-class facility also provides students with a bevy of other services to help First Nations students get on top of the game. Best of all, these programs are housed in the college’s state-of-the-art First Nations building that is shared with the Aboriginal students from l’Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue.

John Abbott College

John Abbott College is the choice for students looking to study in Montreal’s picturesque suburban borough of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue and is the only English-language Cegep in southern Quebec that offers a special program designed to help Cree students integrate into college life and academia.

These two sister-schools offer a unique variety of career programs for those looking to get right into the job market or would like another certificate to complement the education that they have already obtained elsewhere.

Both schools specialize in different areas. Inter Dec offers career training in a number of fields but does not provide students with the necessary credits to graduate with a DEC.

Montreal Universities

While the whole world might affectionately joke about Montreal’s McGill University as the “Harvard” of Canada, back in 1821 the school began a fine tradition of offering a top-notch education to its students.

McGill set the bar high and since then the other three universities in Montreal have kept up the same tradition: to offer a world-class education and top research facilities to academics.

Those looking to enroll at a university as their next academic step will probably already have a school in mind as they will have to prepare for it in one of our aforementioned colleges or programs. So for those looking to plot our their academic future ahead of time, have a look at the following websites to see just who has the program you are most interested in.

Eastern Ontario Schools

While many Crees opt to stay within La Belle Province for their studies, some Crees are just as inclined to hit the books at institutions across the provincial border in Ontario.

With hundreds of colleges and institutions in Ontario, the Nation has opted to showcase a sampling of them, some with and some without specific programs adapted for Aboriginals.

Algonquin College

With campuses in Ottawa, Perth and Pembroke, Algonquin College’s popularity can certainly be measured in its growth over the years. Now offering over 140 different programs, this institution may have enough facilities to educate Ontario’s masses but at the same time boasts its ability to provide a small-college atmosphere.

Special for Aboriginals, Algonquin now offers a General Arts and Science Aboriginal Studies program in both one- and two-year programs. The one-year certificate program is aimed at delivering knowledge on and appreciation for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples through a study culture and heritage, contemporary issues, Aboriginal languages, community development strategies, and Aboriginal law and government.

After one year, students can choose to transfer to another program and have their credits accounted for in their new program or opt to do a second year, which leads to General Arts and Science Ontario College Diploma with a concentration in Aboriginal Studies.

Lakehead University

For those looking to sink their teeth into Aboriginal content at a university, look no further than Lakehead as it offers a bounty of Aboriginal programming, particularly when it comes to learning and teaching Aboriginal languages.

Lakehead is also the only institution in Ontario to have its own department for Aboriginal Initiatives, which is dedicated to providing leadership in Aboriginal development and advancing an understanding of Aboriginal culture, heritage and language.
