Humber College’s Indigenous Education and Engagement ensures that Indigenous students are supported and connected throughout their educational journey.
At Humber College, students can choose from over 200 certificate, diploma, or degree programs. With industry-focused curriculums and apprenticeship opportunities, Humber’s programming allows learners to work on real-world challenges, ensuring graduates are career-ready.
Humber also endeavours to make sure that all students are able to achieve their educational dreams. Humber Indigenous Education and Engagement works in partnership with regional Indigenous communities to ensure Indigenous students are supported and connected to their learning environment — academically, culturally, and socially.
Exploring Humber College’s Indigenous Education and Engagement centre was like discovering a close-knit community where I could embrace my heritage through enriching events and connect with fellow Indigenous students.

Supporting Indigenous learners
As a school that offers students a polytechnic education — teaching theory and adding in practical, hands-on training and work with employers to give students opportunities to learn in real-world settings — Humber is particularly well-suited to offer students a sense of community and belonging. The college is dedicated to fostering culturally safe environments that support Indigenous learners and to braiding Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing into students’ academic experience.
If you’re looking for a well-rounded and enriching academic experience, consider applying to Humber College.
