Career Services
We understand that everyone’s learning journey is unique, which is why we created Career Services to support Technology Council alumni in their transition from learning to work. Our Indigenous-designed career services connect alumni with like-minded tech and tech-enabled companies that are committed to increasing Indigenous participation and leadership in technology and are taking meaningful steps toward Truth and Reconciliation. Our goal is to ensure the companies we partner with are taking action to create safe working environments for Indigenous Peoples so they can feel supported and thrive in their chosen field.

What our alumni are saying
-
“During my time at YVR, I gained specific technical knowledge about Cybersecurity. I finished the internship with a wealth of knowledge about securing networks and systems, especially large and complex enterprise infrastructure. The First Nations Technology Council provided not only a solid foundation but also opened the door to a world of possibilities in a thriving career.”
-
“I feel like the First Nations Technology Council went above and beyond for me as an intern, they believed in me and encouraged me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for their programs and this internship.”
