📢 Registration Now Open for 2025 Foundations of Professional Communications! *New Dates*📢

The Foundations of Professional Communications for First Nations (FAPC 100) course is back this January, and it’s better than ever! Designed for First Nations communicators, this training provides hands-on experience with communication planning, social media strategies, and more - plus the chance to earn 3 university credits through the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology (NVIT).

The course delivered real results in 2024, and we’re excited to share the highlights! From expanded social media strategies to hands-on communication planning, the course empowered participants to earn 3 university credits and strengthen practical skills they’re already applying in their communities. The 2024 outcomes report showcases how feedback from participants shaped key updates, ensuring the 2025 session will continue to adapt with the evolving needs of First Nations communicators. Curious about how this training could benefit you? Check out the report to learn more and join us for the next session launching on January 23, 2025.
