Description (French)
Ce projet de 36 mois a pour objectif d’accroître la sécurité et la prospérité économiques des personnes inuites travaillant dans les services de garde, grâce à la mise au point et à l’essai, en collaboration avec l’Algonquin College, d’un programme menant à un diplôme sur l’éducation de la petite enfance (EPE) pour les communautés inuites. Le modèle et le contenu de ce programme adapté au plan culturel seront élaborés à la lumière de séances de discussions avec des femmes et des filles inuites, et de l’examen des programmes préparatoires et de formation actuels. Des études de marché auprès de possibles employeuses et employeurs seront également entreprises, en prévision de l’augmentation de la demande pour des éducatrices et éducateurs autochtones qu’entraînera la croissance de la population inuite à Ottawa.
