Building Capacity and Human Resources
Indigenous Peoples are vastly underrepresented in the higher education system as academic faculty, part-time course lecturers, and administrative staff. We are committed to creating an equitable workplace that incorporates and respects a diversity of cultures. In this area, we focus on recruiting Indigenous faculty to teach and embark on Indigenous initiatives that are important to them and SCS Indigenous learners, and on hiring Indigenous staff for various roles at all levels. We also recognize that it is critical to engage and retain Indigenous faculty and staff and will therefore embrace a holistic approach to the creation of relevant support services.
