ADaPT for Indigenous and Young Adults is a free digital and professional skills training program designed for Indigenous and young adults across Manitoba, including those in northern and remote communities. The program helps participants build confidence, gain real‑world skills, and connect with employers who are hiring.

Delivered by RRC Polytech Corporate Solutions in partnership with TECHNATION, with support from Toronto Metropolitan University’s Diversity Institute, ADaPT is funded through the Government of Canada’s Future Skills Program.

Participants complete more than 70 hours of training combining live virtual workshops, optional self‑paced learning, and dedicated career support. Training focuses on:

• Digital skills like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, cybersecurity, AI tools, social media, SEO, and basic web development
• Professional and workplace skills, including communication, personal branding, and understanding workplace expectations
• Job‑search skills such as resumes, mock interviews, networking, and employer meet‑and‑greets

ADaPT is delivered using a culturally responsive, trauma‑informed approach shaped by Indigenous guidance and community input. Participants receive one‑to‑one career coaching throughout the program and support preparing for employment, including opportunities for paid work‑integrated learning placements. Wraparound supports—such as technology or transportation assistance—are available based on individual needs.

• No cost to participate
• Live virtual workshops with recordings for flexible access
• Learning circles and community knowledge sharing
• Two cohorts starting April 27 and May 25, 2026
• Participants who complete 80% of live workshops earn a micro‑credential

ADaPT for Indigenous and Young Adults gives you the tools, confidence, and support to move toward meaningful work—within your community and beyond.
