Fostering a successful transition: Formalizing our commitment to Indigenous learners

Learners, support staff, influencers, and community members have called attention to the barriers to uptake present in current articulation agreements for Indigenous learners focused only on awarding academic credit. This project will support Lakehead University, Canadore College, and Confederation College in the development and implementation of a formalized commitment, in the form of a signed Memorandum of Understanding, to collaborate and synchronize supports for Indigenous learners across institutions. By generating a formalized agreement to foster collaboration across institutions, wrap around supports can connect and provide inter-institutional communication and laddered transitions for Indigenous learners.
