Indigenous Youth in Finance: Navigating a Complex Path—September 2024

Indigenous youth are a rapidly growing force in the Canadian labour market. This report looks at the ways that educators and the non-profit and private sectors can help this cohort choose careers in finance and management—and achieve success.

In this report, we consider that Indigenous professionals are under-represented in finance and management occupations. With Indigenous youth a rapidly growing force in the Canadian labour market, the education, financial, and non-profit sectors can explore pathways to help choose careers in finance and management.

How can the different sectors remove barriers and improve the post-secondary experiences of Indigenous youth?

How can we set Indigenous youth up for success at the early stage of their education and career?
