Looking to Start June 2021

Number of individual students required: 10

We would like students to help us with creating content that is aligned with our vision, & mission, for learning. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for Niistaug Futre Work.

The Institute of Indigenous Learning of Fanshawe College is developing the Niisitaug Future Work program.

Developing Building Community One Idea at a Time content

This course offers problem solvers of any stripe a chance to design with communities, to deeply understand the people they’re looking to serve, to dream up scores of ideas, and to create innovative new solutions rooted in people’s actual needs.

We intend to establish a learning environment that fosters the Indigenous spirit of creativity: recognizing your ideas are not the only source of ideas; enabling the work of the collective community; enhancing diverse ways of thinking; incorporating Indigenous ways of wisdom development; embracing the value of learning from our failures; and motivating with intellectual challenges.

To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:

• Collaborate with others to identify tools and content that would support indigenous learners
• Assist with building and developing digital assets to use within learning environments
• Embrace curiosity and willingness to prototype solutions to issues that arise
• Identify learner needs and how to support them through services

Ultimately, you will be working on content creation for our organization, including video, music, digital content, social media, and other collateral that we can use as go-to learning tools.

If you like the sound of our education program and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.

A student or team with excellent writing and video skills would be the ideal candidate for this project.

The team will be mentored by the Indigenous Career Consultant. With over 10 years experience in Career Development 8 years mentoring of students entering various fields. Will have weekly group working time and set aside one on one time biweekly.
