Role of Aboriginal Advisory Committees
There are Aboriginal Advisory committees at each of our campuses. The role of these Advisory committees includes:
- Providing input on the issues and needs of their local community
- Advise CNC on changes in the labour market that may affect student employment
- Help evaluate programs and services to keep CNC responsive to changes and trends within the community
- Act as a communication link to the community
- Help provide employment opportunities for graduates
- Help direct the course of post-secondary education in their community
- Network with local leaders in their community - share resources and ideas
- Help retain and train students of all ages within their community
- Stay in touch with the latest developments in post-secondary
