Please note that this program is closed to the general public but is being offered to Indigenous organizations and communities in partnership with the School of Continuing Studies’ Indigenous Relations Initiative. Interested organizations should contact indigenousrelations.scs@mcgill.ca for further details.

This tailored program is intended for Indigenous students as a result of the need expressed by the Indigenous community leaders. The twenty first century demands multidisciplinary individuals, teams, communities and organizations. This program introduces the knowledge and competencies essential to starting, promoting, and managing a socially relevant business or organization. It focuses on numerical and financial literacy, as well as fundamental communication and management skills. It will help develop the skills needed to create a business or effectively work in an established organization, create a business plan, develop projects, communicate with confidence, effectively manage internal and external stakeholders, understand the fundamentals of how organizations operate within a social, political, and legal framework, and negotiate and manage conflict.

Note: This is an online program.
