Case Study: Indigenous Friends Association empowers Michael’s tech career with IndigiTECH by Indigenous Friends

Indigenous Friends Association graduates Michael through 1 paid internship with Indigenous Friends

The Indigenous Friends Association sought to provide opportunities for its community members by offering a technology training program. Through the IndigiTECH program delivered by Indigenous Friends, participants like Michael could gain practical tech skills and cultural teachings to help bridge educational and career gaps.

Indigenous Friends implemented its IndigiTECH program, which equipped Michael with skills in web development, UX design, and coding. As a result, he secured a paid internship with a health technology company, where he contributed to product testing and even worked on a prototype for the Canadian Space Agency. This experience fueled his personal mission to develop new assistive communication tools.
