Overview

Explore business concepts and business fundamentals in a professional Indigenous context.

Participants will apply these concepts by developing a business model applicable to their economic development corporation, band council, community or their business idea.

The program integrates leading edge knowledge, practical, relevant management training, with Indigenous experience and contexts to create an integrated learning experience. Participants will learn key business topics and develop a business model, applicable to their business idea, or that of their council, community or economic development corporation. Students will present their capstone project on the final day of class.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Aboriginal Management Program (AMP) classes will be offered remotely online. However, additional opportunities to expand in-person instruction will be considered for the final week of class in October (Oct 26 – 29), when it is safe to do so. The health, safety and wellbeing of our students, faculty and staff remains our priority. We will follow the ongoing guidance and direction of the Provincial Health Officer and the Public Health Authorities with respect to protecting public safety.

All sessions are led by distinguished leaders, senior Sauder faculty members, and industry experts who offer one-on-one coaching and mentorship.

At the culmination of the program, the Capstone presentation brings together the students, professors and industry professionals to test the integrated education with real-life business challenges.
