Empowering Indigenous talent in Canada's tech industry

AKI Infotech’s Indigenous hiring program is designed to help organizations build a more diverse and inclusive workforce while supporting Indigenous peoples in Canada toward meaningful careers in the tech sector. We are committed to fostering equal opportunities through culturally aligned recruitment and professional development initiatives.

Addressing the Gap in Indigenous IT Talent

We recognize the challenges in sourcing Indigenous talent within the IT sector. This understanding positions us as an Indigenous-owned solutions-driven IT services delivery firm committed to developing and sustaining a workplace that is welcoming, inclusive, and supportive of Indigenous Peoples

To recruit, mentor, and retain Indigenous talent in the IT space, we:

• Leverage established relationships with Indigenous communities to identify and connect with talent, particularly Indigenous youth.

• Collaborate with our Indigenous board members to approach reputable Indigenous companies for resource support.

• Partner with community colleges and universities to create training programs, addressing both immediate workforce needs and long-term talent development.

• Provide job-specific training through a dedicated training facility, alongside mentoring and coaching from our experienced team. In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, ongoing training is vital for success.

Partnerships

We actively collaborate with Indigenous-led businesses, community organizations, and educational institutions to identify, train, and place Indigenous talent in high-demand tech roles. Our initiatives include specialized training programs like TECH 101 courses for community elders, bridging the digital skills gap while promoting intergenerational learning and development.
