Over the past decade I’ve become increasingly concerned with the ways Indigenous students access (or don’t) appropriate career advice and education. Now think about what that means for Indigenous school students everywhere, regardless of their location because “urban” does not equal access. More often than not, it is up to the CECs (Indigenous education workers and Indigenous school liaisons) to provide the majority of support to Indigenous students to transition out of school. Finally, models of career advice need to be “holistic” and not merely rely on socio-economic factors to determine or predict Indigenous students’ career pathways. The nation cannot afford to leave behind Indigenous students as we approach the new world of work.
