Connecting with Indigenous groups and organizations

Lakeland has built relationships with a number of Indigenous organizations. This includes activities such as bringing people to campus to exposure them to our programs and services

For example, we've hosted a number of exposure events for local First Nations' communities bringing potential students to our facilities.

We've also worked with a variety of bands and organizations to bring courses and programs to their communities. Examples include digital literacy, administrative support and even early learning education.
