Many First Nations in BC are working to develop and expand their communication’s function as an essential part of Nation building and to further their Nation’s political, operational, and social objectives. Foundations for Professional Communications, a new offering from the First Nations Public Service Secretariat (FNPSS) and Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT), is designed to introduce adults working for First Nation communities and Indigenous organizations to a wide array of fundamental communications skills, including communications research, planning and evaluation, internal communications, branding, media relations, and community engagement – all from an Indigenous perspective.

This course is offered at no-cost to participants.

  2. Able to commit 6 hours a week to course work (3 hours class time + 3 hours reading, viewing, and assignments)

Course Credits: Students who successfully complete the Foundations for Professional Communications course will receive credit (3) for an accredited and transferable post-secondary course.
