About the path forward
We are 100% owned by Indigenous women, and we bring over 60 years of combined corporate expertise.
Our unique perspectives and educational approach incorporates Indigenous pedagogy techniques, that elevate our clients' experiential learning. This is a new lens to professional education that is intersectional, comprehensive and deeply impactful.
Inclusive and multi-generational perspectives and lived experiences from leaders across the country.
We have created The Path Forward Corporation as a connection between Indigenous educators, a dedicated space where we respectfully encourage important education and conversations with the Canadian workforce. Our mission is to assist the private sector in meeting their responsibilities and goals in implementing the Truth & Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action, the National Inquiry's 231 Calls for Justice and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Indigenous Intercultural Competence and Professional Development Education.
Our courses and services contribute towards shifting your organization into an intercultural competent workforce that is more efficient, effective and socially responsible. We believe cross-cultural skills can always be developed and improved, and we know we can help you on The Path Forward.
Deardorff (2006) defines it as, 'the ability to develop targeted knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to visible behavior and communication that are both effective and appropriate in intercultural interactions.'
