One of the most important ways this can be achieved is through education. In partnership with Indigenous communities and organizations, business and post-secondary institution(PSI)s are making positive steps towards reconciliation and inclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An excellent practical and proven example is the Aboriginal Education Awards Program of the Business Council of Manitoba. The Council, with its partner The Winnipeg Foundation, together with the Government of Canada and the Province of Manitoba, annually provides more than one hundred awards to Indigenous students attending PSIs in Manitoba as they pursue careers of their choice. The 18-year record of this program delivering more than 2,500 awards valued at $6 million demonstrates the successful and very positive outcomes that can be achieved through effective partnerships in Manitoba.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Supports for Manitoba Indigenous Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/umanitoba.ca\/indigenous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Manitoba The Indigenous community<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwinnipeg.ca\/assc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Winnipeg &#8211; Aboriginal Student Services Centre (ASSC)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assiniboine.net\/study-here\/why-assiniboine\/indigenous-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assiniboine Community College &#8211; Indigenous Students<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/ipc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brandon University &#8211; Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Centre<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmu.ca\/future\/financial\/aid_indigenous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canadian Mennonite University &#8211; Indigenous Students<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ustboniface.ca\/en\/reconciliation\/scholarships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universit\u00e9 de Saint-Boniface &#8211; Scholarships &amp; Bursaries&nbsp;for Indigenous and M\u00e9tis Students<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mitt.ca\/student-life\/aazhogan-indigenous-student-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology &#8211; Aazhogan Indigenous Student Centre<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucn.ca\/sites\/elders\/ininiwi\/Pages\/Ininiwi-kiskinwamakewin-Centre.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University College of the North &#8211; Ininiwi kiskinwamakewin Centre<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rrc.ca\/indigenous\/supports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Red River College &#8211; Indigenous Student Supports and Community Relations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style id=\"kb-column_7a850c-a6\">@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kadence-column_7a850c-a6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{margin-right:-50px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-column.kadence-column_7a850c-a6 > .kt-inside-inner-col{margin-right:-30px;margin-left:-30px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_7a850c-a6 reveal\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style id=\"kb-rowlayout_1becf3-d8\">#kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8{background-color:#ffb400;}.kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8, .kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 h1, .kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 h2, .kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 h3, .kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 h4, .kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 h5, .kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 h6{color:#ffffff;}#kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone block-rounded-bottom-right quote-right\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-row-has-bg kt-layout-id_1becf3-d8\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_9c877b-da\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<h3>Action<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We will enhance funding for the Aboriginal Education Awards Program.
