PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Aboriginal trust assets are estimated to be over 5 billion dollars across Canada. A conservative improvement of 2% in the use of these funds could position hundreds of millions of dollars back to Aboriginal communities for enhanced prosperity. Funded by TD Bank Financial Group and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, the National Aboriginal Trustee Training Program is designed to empower participants to make informed decisions on behalf of their communities now and in the future.
The training has been developed by Lethbridge College with the support of subject-matter-experts from NATOA and TD Bank and will be delivered online to allow for accessibility across the country. The training is designed to accommodate varying educational backgrounds in order to increase participant access.
The first intake is targeted to trustee level decision-makers, while a second phase is currently in development for trust managers. Once complete, the full program will include trustee training, trust manager training and specialized workshops that will collectively build towards a professional designation in Aboriginal Trust Management through NATOA.
PROGRAM START
Registration is now open and will close on Sunday April 30th, 2011. The program itself starts on May 1st, 2012 and participants have four months from that time to complete all modules, as well as the final case study.
