Indigenous employment supports
The RBC Centre for Emerging Artists and Designers (CEAD) offers career development support to current students and recent alums. The CEAD delivers specialized programs and services that connect individuals to meaningful opportunities, communities of practitioners, and skill-building resources. Students have access to the Talent Network, OCAD U's job boards for students and recent graduates.
The Indigenous Curatorial Collective / Collectif des commissaires autochtones (ICCA) is an Indigenous run and led non-profit organization that aims to support and connect fellow Indigenous curators, artists, writers, academics, and professionals through various methods of gathering. The ICCA engages in critical discourses, increases professional opportunities for our members, develops programming, and most importantly works to build reciprocal relationships with Indigenous curators, artists, communities and the institutions we engage with.
The Indigenous Professional Association of Canada is dedicated to advancing Indigenous leadership in the private, public and social sectors. IPAC serves its members through professional skill building, network development and the recognition of excellence. Through its mission, IPAC offers First Nations, Metis and Inuit professionals the opportunity to connect, learn and prosper as a community.
