This certificate program helps First Nations build legal and administrative systems that will reduce business costs on First Nation lands and support competitive market development. The program also helps First Nations implement the new powers and develop the skill set for First Nation tax administration using the First Nations Fiscal and Statistical Management Act.
This program will provide key foundational skills and knowledge to assist in the development of a First Nations economic infrastructure. The knowledge and skills acquired through the program will produce human capital which will support long term benefits in the development of residential and commercial enterprises on First Nation lands. After an introduction to basic microeconomic and macroeconomic principles, students will be exposed to First Nations’ issues as they relate to market failure and poverty.
The goal of the TRU Certificate in Aboriginal Tourism is to graduate First Nations students with the skills necessary to become employed in the tourism industry. We ensure a high-quality post-secondary program that is responsive to the needs of aboriginal learners and is linked to labour market opportunities and employment in the field of Aboriginal Tourism. The foundation of the program is on cultural and applied tourism and small business skills.
