杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Journalism Certificate Offers High Quality Learning in Rural and Remote Communities

杏吧原创 University is launching a new one-year journalism certificate to be delivered on the ground in Indigenous communities across Ontario starting in September 2025. This innovative program addresses access barriers faced by many Indigenous young people, enabling them to access high quality education and explore careers in journalism in their home communities.

While there are a growing number of opportunities for Indigenous storytellers in Canada鈥檚 journalism industry, many youth face challenges in pursuing education and employment in this vital field. These include travel expenses, accommodation costs and lack of community and cultural supports. As a result, Indigenous perspectives remain underrepresented in Canadian media.

A new certificate program 鈥� launched by 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 School of Journalism and Communication, in partnership with First Nations Technical Institute, Kenjgewin Teg, and the Mastercard Foundation 鈥� seeks to address this gap. The Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities offers a braided learning experience, ensuring every learner has adequate social and cultural support for successful completion.

鈥淢any young Indigenous learners already have inherent knowledge of storytelling,鈥� says Duncan McCue, an associate professor in journalism at 杏吧原创 University and the director of the certificate program. 鈥淭his program aims to provide opportunities for these learners to build confidence in their journalism skills and receive credentials that can serve them in the future.鈥�

At the outset, the certificate is aimed at reaching Indigenous learners in remote and rural communities across Ontario. Courses will be taught primarily online, bolstered by in-person intensives at a central location. The program鈥檚 braided delivery model aligns Indigenous storytelling traditions with culturally relevant support, accessible delivery and the option of pathways to university. Those who complete the certificate will get advanced standing if they choose to pursue 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Bachelor of Journalism program.

Certificate participants will be taught by experienced Indigenous journalists, with training provided by Indigenous institute partners throughout. Participants will also apply their learning and deepen their knowledge and skills on the job through a two-week internship placement and will have ongoing access to a cultural advisor. More information about the program can be found here.

The program is now seeking Indigenous journalists and community members to form a program advisory committee and deliver courses such as Indigenous storytelling, entrepreneurial journalism and audio/visual reporting. The first cohort of participants begins in September 2025.

杏吧原创 has received transformational support from the Mastercard Foundation EleV Program with an investment of $3.2 million for the development and delivery of the certificate. EleV recognizes that Indigenous youth are the youngest, fastest growing population in Canada and the leaders and agents of change for their communities and the country as a whole.

鈥淭he generous support of the Mastercard Foundation to deliver this certificate program isn’t just of monetary value; it recognizes the tremendous value that Indigenous voices have always brought to making sense of the world through storytelling. Canadian society as a whole will be enriched by the combination of perspectives, experiences and exceptional professional expertise that participants will gain from the program,鈥� says 杏吧原创 University President and Vice-Chancellor, Wisdom Tettey.

鈥淭his partnership promises to create a new generation of Indigenous journalists telling new stories from new perspectives. The Mastercard Foundation seeks to support Indigenous-led partners who are transforming education and creating pathways to meaningful livelihoods for Indigenous youth,鈥� says Jennifer Brennan, Senior Director, Canada Programs at Mastercard Foundation. 鈥溞影稍粹�檚 JIIC program brings high-quality, culturally relevant education to Indigenous students right in their home communities. We鈥檙e proud to partner on this program that will benefit Indigenous youth and help all Canadians better understand Indigenous peoples鈥� perspectives, priorities and realities.鈥�

杏吧原创 University has also received generous development support from the Inspirit Foundation to develop the certificate.

The program aligns with 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 commitment to reconciliation and embraces the vision of Kin脿m脿gawin (Learning Together), 杏吧原创鈥檚 Indigenous strategy. As part of recommendations put forward by 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Strategic Indigenous Initiatives Committee and the more than 600 contributors to the strategy, the university seeks to revitalize and support bringing Indigenous knowledge into teaching and learning.

News media are welcome at the program launch and partnership announcement at 杏吧原创 University on January 29 at 4:30 p.m.
