Humber College has partnered with RBC to launch the RBC Grad-Ready program for Indigenous Students. This program is designed to assist Indigenous students and recent graduates during their first year of employment. It will be an important tool to help students navigate their job search. The program will also provide resources that enable students to reach their full academic and professional potential while also helping them build the skills they need to obtain employment in their desired sector. With RBC’s support, we are empowering the Indigenous youth of today for the jobs of tomorrow.

Students, alumni and community partners are invited to attend the RBC Grad-Ready Program Orientation. This virtual event will feature Ted Nolan, member of Garden River First Nation, former professional hockey player and coach, and public speaker.
