Indigenous Procurement Micro Credential

Description

Build the skills to lead change in Indigenous procurement.

The Indigenous Procurement Micro Credential provides a practical, action focused learning experience for professionals committed to reconciliation and inclusive economic development. Over two days, participants explore Treaty obligations, Indigenous engagement models, and strategies for removing structural, interpersonal, and organizational barriers.

Through hands on activities and real world examples, we will discuss how to design, implement, and evaluate Indigenous procurement programs that are ethical, transparent, and community informed. Whether you’re updating existing procurement policies or building a new framework, this micro credential equips you to take meaningful steps toward supporting Indigenous participation and economic sovereignty.

Ideal for: government, non-profits, private sector, procurement specialists, leaders, HR, and anyone seeking to embed reconciliation in organizational practice.

The micro credential is designed to:

1. Build foundational understanding of Indigenous engagement, Treaty obligations, and the role of reconciliation in procurement practices.
2. Increase organizational capacity to identify, address, and remove barriers that limit Indigenous participation in procurement processes.
3. Equip participants with practical tools for designing, implementing, and evaluating Indigenous procurement programs that are ethical, sustainable, and community informed.
4. Strengthen relationships between organizations and Indigenous businesses, Nations, and communities through respectful, effective engagement strategies.
5. Support long-term organizational change by integrating Indigenous perspectives, procurement models, and continuous improvement methods into policy and practice.

10 CPD available for SCMP designation holders.
