Exciting Announcement! Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) and Boeing Canada have unveiled a $17M CAD investment to enhance Indigenous aerospace training and education in Saskatchewan. ✈️
This significant funding will bolster SIIT’s programs, services, and operations, primarily focusing on expanding the Saskatoon Aviation Learning Centre (SALC). This expansion aims to increase the training of aircraft maintenance engineers in the province, addressing the skilled labor shortage in the aerospace sector with talented Indigenous professionals.
"In 2010, SIIT laid the foundation for what has become a long-standing partnership with Boeing with their initial support of the SALC," explained Riel Bellegarde, President and CEO of SIIT. "Boeing has demonstrated time and again its commitment to workforce diversification and investment in Indigenous businesses and institutions. This contribution signifies more than just financial support; it represents a pathway to empowerment, employment, and economic reconciliation."
